Hot Creek Fishing Report

12-26-2019
The Trout Fitter Staff

Water Conditions: Good, showing a cfs of 11 on 12/26

Flows are not accurate due to icing , OR , they just rebuilt the shed at the weir so it might be down for some time.

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

 The hatches have been reduced to just midges but also try scuds, case caddis and small mayfly nymphs. Fishing has been good and if you drive down into the canyon it will be less crowded. If you're looking for dry fly action the interpretive site is the most consistent but the canyon has excellent surface activity late morning. The road is snow free and the trails have some snow on them.
