Fishing at Hosmer Lake Has Been Good

Fly and Field Outfitters

Fishing at Hosmer Lake has been good. The weather is looking cool and rainy this week which will likely make the best fishing time from noon till about 4 or so. I’d expect some really good callibaetis hatches, most will probably be around size 16 - 18 but some may get up to size 14. Terrestrials will only be out for a bit longer, if you’re gonna put one on it’s best to drop a nymph off the back. Nymphing has been good with all the typical lake patterns. Chironomids, callibaetis, and dark assassins in sizes 14 - 18 are great. Damsels still have some potential in the channel and leeches are good stripped or under an indicator. There are high chances of a big winter this year and the forecast shows signs of an early fall, get up to Hosmer before things get frigid.
