ready2hunt Report post Posted September 19, 2016 I have floated Hawley lake and Early lake on the rez. both can produce some monsters. If you go to Hawley work your way up the center of the lake from the dam deep and you'll catch. Early lake- work the shoreline early morning/evening and you catch. Muddler minnow, wolly buggers are always my choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted September 20, 2016 The one time I fished Hawley in the fall, the magic turned on when the water hit the high 50's. I caught the second biggest brown of my life on a cut deer hair mouse pattern I threw together after seeing a little mouse get sucked under. As mentioned before, muddler minnows produced also. Don't be afraid to fish pretty shallow in the late afternoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
