Fish Report Oct. 15
We are starting to feel some fall weather in fact we had 3 inches of snow the last few days. Fishing is still very good, however, with the colder weather, it is getting started later in the morning and they are a little more educated! It takes a perfect drift with the right bug to get bit. All flies are size 22 right now. There are a lot of fish in the creek and plenty of large fish as well. The water temps have been dropping so the hatches are changing as always this time of the season. The hatches have been good with Caddis, Tricos, spinners and BWOs, with lot's of rising fish throughout the entire creek. Around 9:30 AM. there are a few Caddis and female Tricos. Then around 10:30, the spinner fall happens and around 11, you will see some BWOs. After the Baetis hatch, you can bring fish up on small hopper, flying ant and beetle patters. The water flows are around 44CFS, normal for this time of year. We are dry fly only! Fishing is really good right now so plan on being on the water no later than 9AM.
KEEP OUR FISH WET!!! If you must have one more fish picture, do so in the net in the water or set the shot up ahead of time. That fish should NEVER be out of the water for more than 5 seconds. NEVER lay the fish in the grass or dirt!
As always, our little fly shop is well stocked with all of the best flies, leaders, tippet, gink, powder shake and most anything else you will need to make the best of your day on the water.
For those of you who may be new to spring creek fishing or could just use a little tune-up, we have some of the best guides in California to make it all happen.
We look forward to seeing you here at Hot Creek Ranch!
