Conditions
Hamilton Branch continues to produce well for shore-bound anglers, with steady flows bringing fresh water into the lake and mostly green conditions. Fish are actively feeding on pond smelt, making smelt-imitating flies your best choice. Watch for short-lived muddy pushes when flows spike, which can briefly disrupt conditions, but the constant fresh water flow generally keeps the branch attractive for sustained fishing.
