Three Creek Lake sitting at just shy of 6500 feet is a good bet to find cooler water, but even up there this small lake can warm to 68 and more. Watch for it. We’ve been seeing really good hatches of callibaetis with spinners hovering the lake before the hatch, and waves of duns. Usually there are 2 emergences a day.
Ants, beetles and hippie stompers (both red ones or all black ones) are great dries when the mayflies are not present. At dusk there are a number of black caddis and a size #16 black x-caddis is a perfect fly to match it. Watch for emerging chironomids at dusk. If it’s windy the dry fly bite is not as good as if it’s calm.
Balanced leeches have been amazing, especially bruised with an orange bead.
CB cate, red pt, crostons chironomid, crostons cb, crostons leeches and damsels are great under his bung style indicator. Of course you can fish any indicator with success, but the cylinder style ‘bobber” is more sensitive than a sphere. In shallow water I prefer NZ wool, in 8 to 15’ a bung, if its windy an Oros, and in deep water over 14 feet a slip strike is preferred. This is true for all the lakes and is my goal in choosing an indicator
