Hot Creek

Flow- 21 cfs. Weather

Opening weekend storms have brought cold and a little dusting of snow but it will warm into the mid 70’s this week. The flow has come up a bit creating a lot more fishable water. The weeds are no issue either so it is pretty easy to get a drift and to top it off, the fish seem to be everywhere! No need to move quickly, there are a lot more lanes for them to line up in so you can stay in one place longer and thoroughly cover more water. It is also a nice flow to fish a streamer, not as many snags now. Midges are out in the morning and we’re seeing a few micro caddis. The noses really start coming up around noon when the BWO’s start hatching. The springtime attractors are getting fish too, dont forget the worms and scuds.
