| Making a Reservation
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.
