Fly Fishing at Hat Creek is Good
Hat Creek - CA (Shasta County)

Website
Current River Conditions:
Cooler temperatures and cloudy, rainy skies are in the forecast and that means Blue Wing Olive hatches! The fly fishing on Hat Creek has been good! Hook ups are occurring steadily all day from the Power House #2 riffle all the way down river. Nymphing with #18 Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Pseudo Mays and Posse Buggers has been the top hit at the PH#2 riffle. Down stream, anglers scoping out rising heads in the seductive flats of Hat Creek might connect with a rainbow throwing #18 Normans Loop Wing PMD or BWO. Early morning and late afternoon caddis hatches are just another feeding event for the fish of the Hat.

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. 5wt rods are perfect. Have an extra spool loaded with a Scientific Anglers Wet Tip Clear Fly Line.
