I fished Omak about 1 month ago. My best day (out of 3 days fishing) was 6 fish, most on a brown bugger. The guy I was with fish chironimids w/o success. Water was real cold; had to break through about 1/2" band of ice to get to one cove.

One afternoon I was turning over rocks to see what insects were in the lake and I found probably the fewest # of insects I have ever seen in a big fish lake. Probably explains why the fish were so skinny. Not quite spawned out, looking but still sorry.

Interesting lake though. I'll probably head back later in spring.
