Hylite Reservoir

With the rivers looking like an overflowing glass of chocolate milk, i have been trying my luck at Hylite. The reservoir is very high, and still very cold, but the cutthroat are getting ready to spawn in the upper creek so they are stacked up in the deep water by the inlet at the southern end. The weather was mostly overcast so the fish weren't rising to the surface but as soon as the sun came out we saw a few rising. Over the last few days we've caught lots of big cutthroat on olive leeches, buggers and egg imitation patterns and a few grayling on small dark colored nymphs. So until the rivers drop, try heading to hylite or other lakes for some good fishing.
