Recommended Flies Woolly Buggers (Sizes 12-16 Colors Black, Brown, Olive) fished on a sinking or intermediate line depending on the depth. Leaches (Sizes 12-16 Colors: Black, Olive) used with a full sinking line with about 4’ of 3X tippet. Chironomid larva – Bionic Worm (Sizes 10, 12, 14) fished on a long leader with a strike indicator. Chironomid pupa (Size 14 Color: Black with silver wire rib and a silver tungsten bead.) fished under an indicator. Streamers should also work. Note: There are very limited shoreline places to fish from.

Food: This is considered a day outing so you are responsible for your own lunches and snacks. There is no water available at this so you should bring your own drinking water.

Suggestions: There are some limited areas where you can fish from the shore. I would strongly suggest that you bring a float tube, pontoon boat, kayak, or small boat as there is a boat launch.
