With the very Hot weather in the last month, the bloom is bound to be very thick, best to try in early Oct. I last fished there the 4th week of june, it was bad then .....still caught fish.....What has happened to the campground maintenance ? No firewood , No TP in washrooms, Garbages full.....Johnny

X2 on October - That lake is excellent late in the season. On a 4 or 5wt fly rod you arm will be sore by the end of the day.
