Took a half day hiking/fishing trip from the Crystal Lake trailhead last week. Skeeters and no-see-ums were tough from dawn to 10:30ish, then gave way to the deer fliers (much more manageable). I found a few snack-sized Brook Trout at Clyde Lake willing to cooperate. Fire Tail Wooly Worm was my best producer fished deep w/ twitch-pause retrieve. Callibaetis Mayflies showed up around 11:30 and got the fish looking up for an hour or so. Still a healthy amount of standing and flowing water up there and even a fair amount of snow above treeline yet.
