I fished a couple of E.WA selective regs lakes last week for three days and they were both abnormally slow for this time of year. A couple of guys were doing pretty well for small rainbows (8-11") using chironomids just off the bottom, but they weren't catching hardly any large fish (16"+). We tried all sorts of flies (princes, scuds, boatmen, buggers, damsels, etc) and nothing seemed to work any better than the others. I think this cold spring has the fish a little sluggish still. First hot spell should cause the bite to pick up.
