This spring creek is beginning to show signs of waking up with some good hatches and hungry fish playing nicely with fly anglers over this past week. The snow is all gone and the clarity in the stream excellent. With sunny, warming days ahead this creek will only fish better as the days lengthen. You can expect a prolific Baetis/Blue Wing Olive hatch any winter day when there is plentiful sunshine, and with less than 5 mph winds forecast all weekend, and partly cloudy skies, this would be a good spot to go. Bring your Hackle Stackers, Griffith's Gnats, and a stealthy approach. Nymph-wise, the BP Weiss nymph, X-Mays in #18, or Sweet Peas are great to have along with some Peaches n' Green. Moving around and keeping your eyes peeled for hatches is the best tactic this time of year on Hat. And please remember to respect other anglers and spawning Rainbows.
