I have fished Hosmer a whole bunch in the last 2 weeks and yesterday was really slow. The Day before was better but was only a good bite in the afternoon about lunch time. A week ago we had one good callibaetis hatch later in the day, but ever since not so much on these important summer mayflies. Again, when will they Pop? has to be soon.
By far, my best fly this week was an Olive Ice Cream Cone with a Red Rib. We don’t sell that so tie them. #16 2 XL.
Damsel Nymphs under an indicator or stripped on a clear camo is good. Certainly plenty of damsels hatching now, and in the morning that can provide sight fishing that rivals a bonefish flat on the non breezy mornings.
