Fly fishers have a lot to be thankful for this season. The chilly weather that many folks are complaining about has been a real benefit to trout anglers. Water temperatures remain cool, and while many lakes would be slowing down, they are still producing very well this year. I caught up with Darc Knobel at the Desert Fly Angler in Ephrata recently and he is getting nothing but good reports from anglers fishing the lakes in his area. Lenore is still fishing very good and some really, really large fish are being pulled from it by fly fishers. There hasn’t been much word about Dry Falls or Dusty but conditions are such that both should be doing very well. He hadn’t heard anything about Grimes yet either. Grimes opened to fishing on June 1st and is only open through the month of August. It is a selective fishing lake, and is loaded with Lahontan cutthroat. Typically it is very busy on the opener, which occurred on a Sunday this year, so it should have seen some traffic. There are large Lahontan in this scenic lake, too. Maybe I’ll have to get up to Mansfield and try it myself and let you know what to expect.
