Current River Conditions:
Fishing on Hat Creek is best in the AM hours. Mike Parker reports in with good fishing thanks to hatches of Tricos through out the morning hours. The fly that has stood out in the mornings, up until about 11:00 AM is the Etha Wing Trico. You can find a link to it on the right.

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Look for rising fish along the flats below the Power House #2 riffle. For the best presentation, drift your trico spinner down and across to rising fish. For a fun challenge, try catching Hat Creek trout on as many tactics as you can: small indicators with nymphs, swinging wet flies and/or streamers, and, of course, with a well-presented dry fly. The Powerhouse #2 Riffle is one of the best spots on the creek, but also one of the most popular. Anglers seeking a real challenge should sight-cast to trout in the fabled "carbon flats" section, and those looking for solace can hike into the freestone section just above Lake Britton. 5 wt. rods are perfect. Have an extra spool loaded with a Scientific Anglers Wet Tip Clear Fly Line.
