Water Conditions:Fair. The crowds are gone, but fishing has slowed. Some Tricos popping off in the late morning, a few Callibaetis in the evenings, and some caddis activity in the evenings, too.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:Nymphs, streamers, and dries... they all have their place on Hat Creek, and the most effective anglers experiment with all three techniques depending on the time of day and water type.

Flies:
?Ģ Mercers Profile Trico Spinner
?Ģ Quigley Spider Variant
?Ģ Callibaetis dries
?Ģ Rusty spinners

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.
