Current Conditions
Don't leave Terryal Reservoir out this summer! With Antero out of the picture, this is a great one to explore. While the fish size on average is smaller, there are hogs to be found! The water is healthy and isn't full but isn't too far off comparably. (Spinney in mind).
Tactics:
Indicator nymphing is always a go-to. You can also suspend nymphs and streamers on sinking lines. Vary your retrieves and depths to lock in a pattern. Leading cruisers with hoppers may be a must-do when the opportunity presents.
Hatches:
July is here, and so should be the Damsel flies. Chironomids are going to be more dormant as the weather continues to warm, but are always relevant subsurface. Calibaetis are also less active but still in play. Cold mornings hold the best possibilities for these lake bugs.
Tips:
Multi-fly indicator rigs will be most effective. Working bottom up can help to find the ideal holding zone where fish are feeding. When static indicator nymphing, it's a good tip to "bump" your flies every once in a while.
Weather:
Short Term- Sun and high pressure in the system today. With temps pushing in the upper 70's. If you are like me, don't forget your sungloves...
Long Term - There is more rain teasing in the near future. With tomorrow showing possible storms hitting around 3 pm and continuing into the early evening. Look for these windows to produce exciting fish activity. Keep an eye out for lightning during those thunderstorms!
