Fly Fishing Report May 15, 2012
   The fly fishing has been pretty darn good so far this season. Yesterday and today we
   had to fight a bit of wind, but we still got in 5 hours of fishing. Sandy Point has
   been the most consistent area for me. We have been picking up 15 to 30 fish each day
   in 15 to 16 feet of water using our deep water sliding indicators. Copper Tigers, Copper
   Zebras, and Albino Barons in the morning fished about 12 inches from the bottom have
   been the best producers. Then, when the bugs start hatching around 11:00 am, I've been
   switching over to a couple of Super Flies or Shafts. Once they start feeding on the
   grey bugs, any kind of grey fly has been working. There has been a mixed bag of fish
   at Sandy, some days it is mostly Browns in the 16 to 18 inch range. Other days is seems
   to be straight rainbows up to 22 or 23 inches. I've had some friends who have been
   doing very well fishing over at Leighton Springs in 13 to 14 feet of water. They have
   been working the sandy shoreline area, rather than over by the rocks on the point. The
   same flies have been working there as well. The last area worth a look would be Big
   Hilton. There have been fish moving in and out of that 15 foot range along the 395
   shoreline. They are not always there, but when they come in, it has been pretty good.
   The water is still very clear, so get up here before the algae starts to grow...
