Water Conditions: Good
Flows are at 111 cfs as of 12/19
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good
I don't know if you've noticed but fair is gone and it's all good , a lot more lake fish have moved up and they're spread throughout the system. The road is still open and is getting better but be careful of the "ponds" in the roads, walking the bank has gotten better but once again they're calling for possible weather by the end of the week. With the sporadic hatches and both planters and lake fish moving upstream try attractor patterns such as San Juan Worms, Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns, egg patterns and streamers. Remember that the fish moving out of Crowley have had a summer of larger food so don't be afraid to use larger patterns. Remember that the water below the Hot Creek confluences will be 5-10 degrees warmer so if you get out early it might be best to start off closer to the bridge.
