Hat Creek Fish Report for 10-14-2011
Fly Fishing on Hat Creek has been fair to good
Hat Creek - CA (Shasta County)

Current River Conditions:
Anglers fishing small #18-20 nymphs in the PH #2 riffle are getting into rainbows and a few brown trout. We had some cloudy weather recently generating BWO hatches that forced a few rainbows to eat off the surface. We think the best chance to catch fish is later in the mornings through early afternoon and near sunset. Cloudy days will be best!!

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Look for rising fish along the flats below the Power House #2 riffle. For the best presentation, drift your D&D Cripple 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.
