Water Conditions: ??Good! The Powerhouse #2 riffle is crowded, as always, but has been fishing well, especially for anglers nymphing the faster water upstream. Carbon flats has some great rising trout with PMDs, but this is one of those chess games in fly fishing and anglers definitely earn there fish in the flat water. There are more and more salmonflies buzzing around every day, and a lot of big nymphs getting closer to the banks.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: ??Look for PMD's and little yellow stones, possibly some early Green Drakes and Salmonflies.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??For a fun challenge, try catching Hat Creek trout on as many tactics as you can: small indicators with nymphs, swinging wet flies and/or streamers, and, of course, with a well-presented dry fly. The Powerhouse #2 Riffle is one of the best spots on the creek, but also one of the most popular. Angler seeking a real challenge should sight-cast to trout in the fabled "carbon flats" section, and those looking for solace can hike into the freestone section just above Lake Britton.
