Timing will be everything here this spring. The run-off influences Mammoth Creek making it swell-so this shall establish conditions on Hot Creek proper which stays for the most part very stable in flows and clarity. It can be epic on the creek in March and it is by far my favorite time of year to fish here save maybe the blanket caddis hatches in the fall. BWO's are still the main course on the trout's diet but they snack on midges all day here. I also suggest you go "rogue" and toss a streamer or two if the water gets off colored, especially in the larger pools and holes. Road in remains closed to vehicles and will be a mess for a while.
