Locations come from the source report. A gauge reference does not establish where every fishing observation was made. Hatches and fly recommendations belong to their individual report.
Emerald Water Anglers
Warmwater and lake fishing is in full swing; carp, bass, muskie, panfish, and trout all available. Callibaetis and damselfly hatches expected imminently.

Trout fishing is slow, but warmwater fishing is productive with bass, crappie, bluegill, and perch all available. Streamers and poppers work well for bass while midge and bloodworm patterns under an indicator produce fast action for panfish.

Ballinger Lake is a recommended destination with a mix of trout and warmwater species. A balanced leech under an indicator is an effective all-around pattern.
