Fly fishers may find that leeches, Woolly Buggers, horsehair nymphs and Carey Specials are reliable pat- terns. Also, the Tom Thumb is ver- satile, either as a wet or dry fly. Try using this pattern in the early morn- ing or evening, casting towards the rising trout.

Please note the lake trout fishery is catch and release only.
