What's working on Pomona Lake

01Mild fall temperatures around 51°F with clear skies and light winds.
02Focus on imitating baitfish, crayfish, and larger aquatic invertebrates due to cooling water temperatures.
03Predatory species like Walleye, Saugeye, Wipers, Catfish, and Crappie are actively feeding.
04Top fly recommendations: Olive Woolly Bugger (sizes 6-8), Mysis Shrimp (Nymph) (sizes 14-16), Clouser Minnow (sizes 4-6), Perch Pattern (sizes 2-4), and Crappie Jig Fly (sizes 10-12).
05Concentrate efforts along deeper drop-offs, submerged structure, and the edges of remaining weed beds in Pomona Lake.
06Use slow, deliberate retrieves with subsurface patterns, allowing flies to sink into the strike zone and experimenting with retrieval speeds and pauses to mimic injured prey.
