SUMMER HOURS 6am to 6pm Daily

Report Date: 5/27/2025

Current Conditions: 

Tarryall reservoir has been fishing very well this spring. The class of fish is really good as well with a lot of 16-20 inch fish being caught. The fishing has been good from shore, but we are seeing them venture out a little more now. This can be a great low key option for the stillwater angler. The pike bite has been slow, but this should improve as the water temps warm a bit.

Hatches:

We are starting to see lots of chironomids here now. We are even seeing the large spring, or "buffalo" chironomids hatching.  Streamers,  Scuds, leeches, and even eggs are all good patterns to focus on.

Tactics:

Move around. We are seeing productive zones change frequently. Dont be opposed to exploring different parts of the lake right now.

Tips:

Dodge the wind! Really pay attention to the wind forecasts and plan your day around that. While we do want a little bit of wind and chop on the lake, it can quickly become too much up here. The wind happens fast!

Weather:

Short Term-  The holiday weekend was a cooler and wet one. The weather will continue to be active this week. Temps will be cooler than average and we will have chances of rain pretty much every day this week and through the weekend. Highs will be in the 60's and lows will be in the 40's. The early summer monsoons look to be active and should supply a good amount of moisture in the near future. This is great news considering our very low snowpack, lets hope it delivers!

Long Term-  Looking out a little farther, forecasts are showing active chances of rain well into the beginning of June. It looks like it will take about 8-10 days for this pattern to break. During this time we will again have high temps in the 60's with lows in the 40's. We could see some stronger storms and its always a good idea to check forecasts before heading out. Beyond that the weather folks are still predicting a hot and drier stretch upcoming. As always, we will have to wait and see how that develops. For now, it looks like its a good idea to keep that rain jacket in the car.
