for time at Lake Christine
Some of our regulars at Lake Christine
have been fishing it for years. It is known for its
dry fly fishing because of the many weed beds and incredible
insect population. This is a very easy ranch to access and
utilize. You can drive right to the spot where you will be
launching your float tube or pontoon boat. The 3000 foot plus elevation provides
an ideal temperature for excellent water conditions and hatches.
It takes the sting out of hot weather and it rarely gets uncomfortably cold.
We take reservations for Lake Christine
anytime during the year. We start the season in March
and keep the lake available until winter forces a closure, usually around the middle of November.
In some cases you can make a reservation on any really warm
winter day. The midges will be hatching and the lake's trout
won’t ignore them. As soon as Lake Christine ices out in the spring, the fishing can be great with streamers and midge pupae. By late spring, the lake's most famous hatch begins as Callibaetis by the thousands dance above Lake Christine's glass-smooth surface, tantalizing the trout below. During the height of the Callibaetis hatch the bugs can come off two or three different times each day, creating blanket hatches and feeding frenzies from the lake's many rainbow and brown trout.
These large mayflies will continue to hatch throughout the summer months, especially in the cool evenings as the sun sets, and they are supplemented by midday hatches of damselflies. The
days can be warm during summer, but it always cools down at the end of the
day. Fishing can be best the first 4-6 hours of daylight and
the last part of day, but you can usually find fish working
someplace almost any hour of the day. Look for the shaded
portions of the lake and you will most likely see some surface
action. There are midge hatches most of the time and the summer and fall can be a super time for those terrestrials.
