Wickiup Reservoir is picking up according to customer Glen Thompson who made a loop through the east side this past week. The campground near the Davis channel is open. Best flies included wooly buggers and thin mints. Chironomids did not produce for Glen as expected. Look for the chironomid activity to improve.
Other highlights of his trip included Crumbo Reservoir and Chickahominy Reservoir. He fished a variety of buggers and streamers having excellent success on Crumbo and medium action on Chick. He did say that Chick was much clearer than it has been and water temps appear to be warming. Next weeks improved weather should really improve the high lakes that are open.
Davis Lake is also open and anglers have begun to slay the bass.
