Hosmer Lake is fishing pretty good most days and fish are spread out on the channel, with some nice fish up in the upper lake and also found in the lower lake too.
Damsel Nymphs, Callibaetis Nymphs, Water Boatman, Scuds, Ice Cream Cones, Red PT Jig, Double Bead Black, Ants and Beetles.
Strike Indicators play a more important role on Hosmer than maybe some of the other lakes. Spookier fish and soft takes require a Drop Back Bung or NZ Wool to be at your best.
Don’t forget to bring a Hover, Clear Camo Intermediate and maybe even a Type 3 or a sweep line with a Type 3 in the middle for streamers and scuds and blobs.
