Hi Dan, Big questions. First, I would recommend buying Fly Fishing Desert and High Arid Lakes by Steve Probasco. Also, you can find good books by Brian Chan, and Brian Chan and Skip Morris.
2. You can and should use float tubes or boats on all of the lakes you mentioned. Nunnally - Lenice will require a 1/4 mile hike in, so plan accordingly. 3) Camping is available near all the above lakes. Dry Falls and Lenore: Sun Lakes state park, Nunnally Lenice: parking lot, and Rocky Ford Parking lot. Great places for car camping. 4) Chironomids, callibaetis, leeches, damsesls, dragon fly nymphs, and scuds are all productive. Take chironimid pupae patterns, griffith's gnats, Adams (size 12-14), callibaetis emergers, leech patterns, wooly buggers. Use floating lines and intermediate sinking lines. At the end of May, you may have good damsel fishing with dries and nymphs. 5)If it were me, I'd focus on a couple of lakes rather than running around too much. Also, if the weather is very hot, I would consider going a bit farther north. 6) If you tie flies, buy Philip Rowley's book of fly patterns for stillwaters. Good luck. james -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Tailleur Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Fishing BAJA[Scanned] Hi Everybody, I am new to washington flyfishers and have enjoyed what i have learned so far. Here's my question: My brother and I plan to fish Lake Lenice, Lake Lenore, Nunnally and Dry Falls Lake around the end of May, 2004. What sort of flies should we use? Where is a good place to stay in that area? Can we use a float tube or boat on these lakes? Does time of day make a difference in the fly choices we should be using? In short--please spill your guts with any information that would hlp us have a successfull trip. Thank you to anybody that can help us get prepared for this wonderful trip.
