Water Conditions:
The run off has slowed down due to the cold weather we are having. Water levels are still high but the water is clear.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Hot Creek has still been fishing well, even in the snow. It looks like the highs will be in the upper 60s for this weekend. The fishing should only improve with the nice weather coming in this weekend. The fish have been feeding on Midges, Caddis, BWO, Scuds and Stones. Make sure to be using 6x or lighter tippet.
