Water Conditions: GOOD
As of 6/5 the flow above Hot Creek confluence is 84 CFS. The water is becoming discolored and still very cold.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: GOOD
Many fish have been caught recently in the section below the Monument and the inlet of Crowley Lake.
Look for the fish to be a bit spooky with the low water flow. Fluorocarbon tippett and leaders are highly recommended. A plus side to the clear water is there should be lots of "sight fishing opportunities" to be had. The
BWO hatches are consistent midday as are the Midge hatches
early.
The fish are feeding voraciously subsurface and on top from
11am to 4pm. Some Caddis have been seen but no full blown hatch yet.
