Report: Flows are just above 1,000 CFS at the lake and the river is warming. Clarity is excellent, the days are longer and bugs are beginning to pop. This year with the lack of snow the Salmonflies and Golden Stones will be emerging early, like a month early. Keep a variety of Chubby Chernobyls on hand and fish dry-dropper. On sunny days you can possibly get a hatch, so a well-stocked dry box would be a shame to leave at home. We'd recommend fishing Hat Creek or the McCloud at Ash Camp for now.
