Crowley Lake

The bite is still great on Crowley Lake. The days are comfortable and the mornings are getting chilly. Most of the fish are moving north and the bite is still nice and shallow! The entire North Arm is holding fish but Greenbanks has been the most consistent in 8-13’. Layton and Six Bays has been decent if you can be in the right spot on the right day.

Hilton is also holding fish if you want to fight through all the little bows and cutts they just stocked. They can barely pull the bobber down so if your bobber is twitching or vibrating, it may be these little beasts of the future. Don’t feel bad if you miss them, these little stinkers are hard to hook!!

We still haven't seen a huge hatch of perch fry and have not had any grabs under the bobber but they will grab a perch or chub pattern on the strip. I keep telling myself this will change but it may just be wishful thinking.

But, not to worry because they are crushing the midge, Bobber Down!

The bite isn’t super early either 9-11am has been pretty good and afternoons have been great on days the wind is tame.

Flies-

When it comes to the midge it’s all about size, appearance and color. You will want to have larva and pupa patterns in a variety of color combos. Every day can be a game of cycling through colors until you find what they want.
