Beautiful weather and only half the campsites filled. Fishing was somewhat slow and nobody was getting anything on dries, despite a small mayfly hatch that was bringing fish to the surface on the north end. A dark olive Wooly Bugger with green flash worked the best, followed by a Beadhead Prince. Some of the others indicated they were doing "okay" on Damselfly Nymph patterns.

Hints: Work the weedbeds by trolling through the far NW "bay", and the North shore by casting to within a foot of the bank and stripping slowly toward you. A floating sink tip line seemed to work best.
