HOT CREEK IS SCHEDULED TO REOPEN TOMORROW SATURDAY 10/3
There are still a few PMDs around. The Tiny BWO has started to emerge, starting about noon until 1:00 and the egg laying starts about 2:00. The name tiny is accurate, size 24. The Hoppers are still around, not like the Owens but still plentiful. The Tricos are definitely taking center stage with the female emergence around 8 and the spinner fall 1-2 hours later. With the increase in Hoppers early afternoon has been getting better. Late afternoon into evening has been good especially if the wind stays down. Caddis migration starts about 8 a.m. with the emergence starting late afternoon. The Caddis can range from a #14 to a #30 (no that's not a typo) so don't be afraid to experiment, including "skating" the bigger ones. The # 30's are generally at first light. Also, male Tricos emerging from about 5:00 until dark.
