Bite Has Been Really Good

4-16-2019
Doug Rodricks

Complete access is now offered on Hot Creek in both areas. The bite has been really good as fish are feeding on small midges in the mornings and BWO’s in the afternoons. If you are nymphing go small in the canyon in the I- site area. Best flies this week have been #20-22 Para midges,  #16-18 BWO’s, , and Otter eggs and SD Crawlers in red. #18 Gold FB Pheasant tails were also hot.

This is a year around fishery with special regs in place. We walk and wade guide here.*Doug Rodricks, Doug Dolan, and Hans Grotewold are under permit from the Inyo National Forest Service to guide Hot Creek.
