We saw a slight bump in flows here after the light snowfall, but it's still very tough conditions for most to fish here with limited water for any kind of extended drift. Lot"s of drifting weeds, and quite a few places that are almost choked out they are so thick.

Pictured Above: The dying weeds have covered up many of the rocks, and the living ones are choking the channels at Hot Creek.
Photo #1: This pretty much tells the story at Hot Creek. This this is the first parking area on a recent weekend late morning. Ghost town.
