Hot Creek has erupted and fishing here is as good as it gets! Recent trips have put big smiles on the lucky ones making the effort to hike down into the canyon over a hard packed snow covered road.

Rarely do I classify fishing here as "stupid good" but I have seen two days recently in which the "crick" has lived up to its potential. The trout are gorging on the baetis hatch and if you can fog a mirror-you could catch a fish on a fly with little fishing effort.

Fish midge clusters in the morning or may fly nymphs #18-20. Switch to BWO adults around mid-day. This is the sweet spot during the day and you will see just how many fish thrive in this fertile spring creek!
