Water Conditions: Poor-Fair, showing 0 cfs as of 4/4

Remember, these are the flows just below Highway 395 on Mammoth Creek. 0 is what it says but I guarantee there's water flowing. It's that danged ice!

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

The road into the ranch is open again but with VERY, VERY LIMITED PARKING AND A NASTY TURN AROUND. I recommend having somebody drive you in and pick you up. Fishing had been picking up but I've gotten no recent reports. What follows are predictions based on the normal patterns this time of year. Just like last spring, with the flows still low the Interpretive Site has a bird problem. The fish are in there but they are jammed under the cut banks and weed beds. Hopefully the runoff will provide some protection and dig the holes a lot deeper. The following report is accurate with the Baetis in the #16-18 rangeMidges in the morning and Baetis in the early afternoon. Most of the fish are concentrated in the deeper holes but they are starting to spread out.The Baetis are back and the action midday is now Baetis. Still midges, nymphs, adults and spent patterns. Generally the midges will be hatching until early afternoon and then egg laying and spent adults in the afternoon. Scuds and egg patterns will work all day. Don't forget the streamers and leeches.

I still tell my clients that a 4 second drift is average and finish with an aggressive pickup, you will hook fish you never knew existed.
