Rawson Lake this weekend

[NCFlyfishin]

Hey guys I am thinking of heading up to Rawson on Friday and wondering if it is still worth it and I'd there would possibly still be any hatches up there and wondering what type of flies to bring along, hopefully it is still worth it as I would like to give it one last go before the season ends, I could also bring some spin rods with panther Martin's, what's the best type of panther Martin spinner up There? I will probably pack both fly and spin rods to be safe, I hear the lake is open to fishing till the 31st please correct me if I'm wrong
Thanks guys

Maybe try some midges? Or mosquito patterns

I was also thinking about midges, I had luck on the Mosquito pattern and Adams in August but not sure about right now

I was up there last weekend. I had good luck on the ol' orange stimmy or elk hair caddis
Managed four in an hr. If you want to catch them cast out about 30-50ft then slowly strip the fly in to give it a little surface action like a struggling caddis. Had good luck on the south side

Cheers,

I don't know. But I do know that elk hair caddis catch cutties in the fall

Two weeks ago I hiked up to an alpine lake in Banff and had a really productive day using a size 10 chernobyl ant with a bright orange belly. I was getting action on almost every cast, those cutties couldn't get enough of it. It's always a good idea to bring some bright chernobyls up to those lakes

Hey guys, made it up to Rawson on Friday and even though I wasn't able to stay for long because it was super windy, it was still fun, we ended up catching 2 fish and missing a couple others on Panther Martins in about an hour and a half (tried fly fishing but no rises whatsoever) we even saw a bull moose near the upper kananaskis lake parking lot
