Three Creeks Lake is fishing good, callibaetis hatches are rolling along at less of a pace than earlier in July but still an important summer food source for a mountain trout lake. Black Caddis #16-18, Midges (Griffiths Gnat and a Red Century Drive Midge for dries), small Hares Ear under an indicator 24 to 36 inches or run off the back of a hopper or hippie stomper is a good summer combo.

Balanced Leeches and Chironomids under an indicator in deeper areas, especially around the boulders just south of the store and headed towards the beach area. It’s been fun fishing and worth the trip.

Look for damsels to be important too. I almost forgot to mention that. This time of year, every lake angler should be trying dry damsels along with damsel nymphs.
