Area Lakes - Sun, Jul 31st

Callibaetis hatches on the area lakes are getting into full swing, and Ennis Lake is a nice destination to fish this hatch.  Tricos are starting to hatch earlier in the morning, with some fish being active on them, but from mid-morning until early afternoon fish are looking for the Callibaetis.  Before the fish start working on dries, try a mohair leech trailed by a Callibaetis nymph, fished with a slow retrieve.  When the fish start working on the surface, watch a particular fish and try to decipher its direction.  Then try to place your cast where you think it’s going to be.  Fishing a Parachute or Thorax Callibaetis trailed by a Callibaetis nymph, stillborn, or cripple pattern is usually effective.
