Decided to go to Fan today.

Loaded in around 7:15am. Overcast, calm and about 55°. The water temp was 61° at the surface and 55° at 12'.

Saw some indications of a chironomid hatch. Small pale green critters with white gills were surfacing along the "shelf" at the neck to the upper part of the lake.

I matched the hatch with a #14 pale green Ice Cream Cone on floating line with a 20' leader. I caught fish on my first 2 casts after changing to this fly. Both about 14". After a slow period of about 20 minutes I began to catch more fish. I caught and released 13 fish in all by the time I left at 10:30am. The largest was 21" and smallest was 9" with the average being about 14". All were Rainbows.

Tight Lines!

Best action I've ever heard of on that lake. I've fished it a couple times with minimal success (3-4 fish) but may have to try it again. Most of my action came in the neck area also.
