The district office continues to receive positive reports on fly angling for Brook and Rainbow Trout. With cooler water temperatures there are fewer floaters on Hosmer Lake and fish are spread out and using the channel and lower lake. Hosmer was recently stocked with rainbow trout. Callibaetis and damsels are an integral part of the diet at Hosmer, and we recommend anglers stock their fly boxes accordingly. Restricted to fly-fishing only with barbless hooks. Open to fishing all year. Catch-and-release for all species.
