Recommended Flies:

#18 Tiger or Zebra Midges, #16-18 Prince Nymph, #14-18 Hare??s Ear, #18 Pheasant Tail, #18 Kyle??s Super Flash PT and #18 Rock Worm

-DRIES-
#14-16 Stimi, #14-16 Royal Wulff, #16-18 Cripple BWO and Hatchmaster BWO

Guides Hint: I know the recommend ations haven't change in 8 weeks. If it works don't fix it. On warmer days, the average angler that leaves the store is returning 3-4 hours later with 9-12 fish landed, one over 19 inches, at Upper O, Hot Creek, and Lower O with the Res a close second. The quality of the fishing this Winter has been uncanny.
