Fishing Reports-Fair:

With low flows and lots of weeds fishing Hot Creek in the canyon is challenging.  There is a good micro caddis and also Blue Wing Olive hatch going on mid day so size #18 and #20 dry patterns can be productive. Cripple patterns are good to try out too.  You can't ever go wrong with an EC Caddis cripple pattern. 

​

General all around fly recomendations:

• Dries: Upright Organza Trico #18-22 | Spider Variant PMD #16-18 | Mimic May PMD #16 | Brooks Hot Creek Caddis #18-22 | Baby Boy Hopper #14-16 | Spent Wing Caddis #16-20 |

• Nymphs: Tung Stud Black #18-20 | Split Case PMD #14-18 | HDA Fav #14-16 | Expecting Scud #16-18 | Drowned Trico Spinner #20-22 | Nori Caddis Olive or Brown #14-22 |
