Current River Conditions:
Anglers fishing small nymphs like #18-20 Pheasant Tails, WD-40s, Brassies and Zebra Midges have been doing best. The weather has been very sunny and warm. Cooler, cloudy conditions should produce better Blue Wing Olive (BWO) hatches that create better dry fly fishing!

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.
