Dickson Trout Pond is a very interesting place to fly fish! When the pond was built, lots of humps and drop offs were added. Today the early morning water temperature was 59-60F! By 3 pm, the surface water temperature was close to 65F. There is an algae bloom building on the lake too! Today the algae bloom did not affect our fly fishing.
Karen and I motored to the far end of the lake and fly fished in 14 feet of water. We caught lots of stocker trout so we moved on. There are several spots on the lake that are really shallow with a distinct drop off on its edges. Karen and I motored over to one and we fly fished right along the drop off side of a long berm that is just under the water. We set up with Tokaryks and Bubba Gump Shrimp under an indicator about 5-6 feet down. The rainbows were quite active along the edges of that sunken berm. We caught mostly stockies but we connected with a few carry over rainbows and some decent tiger trout! The trout seemed to be cruising along the drop off edge of the berm. The mid lake "berms" drop off on the edges and that is comfort or safety for the trout!
