Water Conditions: Good
Flows are at 31cfs as of 4/14.

Paved road to entrance of Hot Creek ranch is completely dry. Access to the canyon section is a walk from there over pretty much dry ground. Gate should be open this weekend per USFS as soon as the last big puddle just before cattle guard dries up. You can drive right up to the water at the Interpretive Center

Fishing conditions and Hatches: Excellent

Some big early spawners have shown up in the Interpretive Center section.
Use small midges early and BWO's later in the morning and into the afternoon or continue to fish subsurface - big and buggy nymphs. It gets going by 9 am, sometimes earlier. Weekend temps close to 70F should really step up the hatches.
