Crowley Lake

Lake Elev.- 6766.0 Weather

The season is winding down on Crowley Lake, the mornings are getting down into the mid thirties and the marina will be closing in a few days. There will only be tube and shore access to the north end of the lake as the gate will be closed after the 26th of Oct. The bite is still going in the North Arm in 7-11’ an easy kick if you are in a tube.

Temps have dropped enough to get the Browns moving into the tributaries to spawn and in some places can be caught from shore as the stage up to go. A two handed switch rod is a great way to fish Crowley from shore. It has been an excellent year on Crowley and next year will be even better!

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 and shape until you find what they want.
