Hosmer Lake - August 15th, 2004

FISHING: Good
TAKE YOUR INSECT REPELLANT!
Callibaetis are still available and dry fly fishing is always fun! Size 14 and 16 in Parachute Adams, Callibaetis Cripples, Callibaetis Nymphs and Flashback Pheasant Tails will get you keyed in. A size 20 WD-40 as a dropper behind a Parachute Adams and fished along the weed edges can be lots of fun!
The Travelling Sedges are running across the water with explosive takes the norm. So, have those Goddard Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis and Mikaluk Sedges handy. Sizes 8 to 12 are necessary, as these are BIG bugs!
Damsels are on the scene and the fish are actually leaving the water to hit the adults as the hover! Tough to duplicate this presentation. Work nymphs, on a floating line, around the weeds OR strip an adult pattern under the water as some species dive down to lay their eggs on the stalks of the tules.
OTHER KEY FLIES: Roxy Rainbows, Black Chironomids, Scuds, Callibaetis Spent Spinners, White and Orange Woolly Buggers.
