Flows have bounced around a bit but are currently at 115 cfs below the dam at Pleasant Valley.?? Ideal for wading the wild trout section and drifting the lower sections of the river.?? It is awesome down here right now and is a must stop if you are visiting the area. There is a link above to the DWP flow rates.??

The trico hatch is a mid-day event and you will be rewarded with numerous snouts appearing in the foam line around mid-day.?? These are tiny may flies and I suggest you stick with no larger than #20's for the best imitation.?? You may see some fish hit a larger pattern like a Stimulator in the #16 range as there is also a significant amount of fall caddis around.?? Having this knowledge in your quiver?Ķuse a dry/dry combo so you can see that freaking small trico pattern near the larger Stimmy.?? It is fun here, don't miss it!

The guided drift boat trips are sensational right now and are as sure a fishing thing as I have ever seen.?? Honest.?? It is sick right now!?? We are taking most of the fish on streamers but having opportunities to fish the hatches when we get the opportunity.?? A major reason for the great fishing here other than the ideal water conditions is the enormous amount of quality planted fish coming from the Hot Creek Hatchery.?? The HCH is NZMS positive and those fish are being planted in snail positive waters only.??

We are partial to our streamer patterns like Loebergs, Spruce-a-bu's, and Punk Perches, but to be quite honest with you it is so darn good here right now you could even get numbers with those rusty old streamers that you have not used for several seasons!??

Jim Scanlon from Camarillo, CA and Doug Simons of Westlake Village, CA drifted with us for two days and ended up with close to a hundred rainbows and browns they caught and released under blue skies.?? Numerous double hookups and lots of leaping trout.?? Nice shooting guys!
