Hosmer Lake Fishing Report
8-14-2022
The Fly Fishers Place
Hosmer Lake this week showed a better number of fish than I saw before. They were tough to move to a fly as most fish were seemingly resting static near the bottom. Full Moon week problems? Maybe. Essentially there was zero hatch when we were there from 7:30 AM to 4 PM. Typically in August I have had Callibaetis spinners blanketing the water in the calm of the morning, and a dun hatch on most afternoons or by evening. Also, most august afternoons have seen big feeding frenzies on Damsel adults.
This week at Hosmer we collected small (#18) Yellowish Water Boatman from Throat Pump Samples and that was it. So where are the callibaetis? Where are the chironomids and scuds and damsel nymphs and leeches that usually show up mixed in samples? I realize that one day of sampling doesn’t say much at all of course, but it seemingly fits the trends I am finding for the most part. The fish we did catch at Hosmer were darn nice, but it ended up just being a few of them over the course of the day. With Water temps seeming good, and the number of nice fish we saw, will Hosmer be a go-to/top spot for us soon?
