Clear Creek Reservoir boat ramp is open Thursday through Monday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Here is an update from Jerry Hornbuckle: "The good news this week is that ...more for the past several days we have had daily hatches of mayflies, joining the gnats previously reported. Fly fishermen have been having success with Blue Duns generally everywhere but especially so from boats on the upper end of the lake in the shallows. While fish caught are mostly Rainbow stockers, increasing numbers of Browns are being caught now. Wherever the stocker rainbows are caught—primarily 10 to 13 inches length—no matter what tackle type is used, the fish are unusually active. They tend to “tail walk,” “flip” end over end in the air, or “body surf” half out of the water. Fighting like this makes them much more fun to catch. The week’s bad news is wind and weather. Most days winds pick up in the late morning. Winds of 15 to 20 mph can produce waves up to two feet in height on the lake. Barometric pressure variations have also tended to suppress feeding by fish. From shore, PowerBait and worms continue to produce modest numbers of rainbow trout around the lakeshore with some locations doing much better than others. For example, the beach on the northeast corner of the lake near the dam, and the much larger beach on the upper, northwest corner have reported much better results than elsewhere. PowerBait results have been spotty; salmon eggs have done well. Small spinner lures and spoons have produced small numbers of fish, with Kastmasters being the lure preferred by fishermen; gold and red colors seem to work better than others. From boats, small spinner lures and spoons trolled or cast worked well. Those trolling with worms on a bare hook beneath pop gear were OK, but not exciting. Tasmanian Devils and Needlefish produced daily limits or more in a couple of hours. Small, two-inch Rapalas have done well, too. No tiger muskies or kokanee salmon were reported caught, although a few small suckers were landed and kept to be used as cut bait for lake trout elsewhere."
