This storm will add much needed flow to Hot Creek via Mammoth Creek when it warms up. We could see a really great baetis (BWO's) hatch here in November with excellent conditions. Currently the flows are very low and only about 50% of the usual water is fishable. If you get a honey hole, the "catching" is business as usual on HC. Try a streamer on a deeper pool or run, much over looked here. The fish are still there, it is just difficult to make extended drifts and sexy presentations. I have seen guys using 13 foot rods and dabbing the slots without casting. Not my cup O' tea but ingenious none the less.
