Fish Report for 9-18-2024

The weather has been on a rollercoaster!

The Fly Shop

The weather has been on a rollercoaster over the past week, and we'll have a slight warmup over the next week. Keep your eyes open for some Golden Stones to come off in the stretches below the 299 bridge. On warm days Caddis will emerge in the late evening, and Blue Wing Olives are emerging in the afternoons. Tricos are on the wane and the remaining Callibaetis are small. Good flies are small Bird's Nests, #16s, the Light BP Weiss Nymph, #18 olive S&Ms under a small indicator or fished dry-dropper. In the flats below the Powerhouse 2 Riffle, target sipping fish with the appropriately sized Adams, #16 would be about the largest we can recommend. Hat Creek is a tough nut to crack in the transition into fall, bring your observation skills and a lot of patterns!

Hot Flies: 
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Rubberlegs
• Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• S&M Nymph
• Walt's Worm
• Peaches n' Green
• BP Weiss Nymph
