The best chances at fish on the top end on the Powerhouse 2 Riffle will be in the morning prior to the sun peeking over the horizon and towards dark. Tricos. Lots of them. Look for a spinner fall in the morning along with a hatch. More assorted mayflies are coming off on the top end in the Powerhouse 2 Riffle area along with Yellow Sallies. Work the lower areas of the creek for the Caddis in the afternoons and evenings, you may find some areas with fish sipping Trico spinners. This is a spring creek, a full box of Adams in #12 - 18 and dark Missing Links in #14 - 16 should have you covered for any noses poking up. 

Hot Flies:

• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
