There is some run-off and off colored water on the warmer days here. The wind has been an issue as well, but on the nicer days you will see good mayfly and midge activity. Higher flows should not deter you from fishing on Hot Creek, and in many instances they are beneficial to extending drifts over the weed beds. There are a staggering amount of fish that hide or hold in and along the thick weeds in HC and under lower flows these fish can be nearly impossible to reach or make a nice drift over. Dry dropper combos using a hi-vis para mayfly and a bead head midge, caddis, or mayfly nymph can be effective under conditions like these.
