From the benchWith sunny skies and light SW winds today, set up on the south-to-mid-lake flats where recent reports have been stacking fish — position your boat so the wind pushes you broadside across the flat and work your indicator rig at 12–18 feet. Start the morning with a balanced leech or Sparkle Minnow stripped along the bottom in low light, then transition to a deep chironomid setup under an indicator once the sun hits the water around 9 AM. If you see fish rising or sipping near the surface between 11 AM and 2 PM, drop down to a size 22 BWO emerger or WD-40 on a 5X or 6X tippet and fish it just under the film with zero movement. Keep an eye on the afternoon wind — if it picks up past 10 mph, move to the sheltered north end of Strawberry Bay where the surface stays calmer and fish continue to feed confidently.
