Water Conditions: Good. The Powerhouse #2 riffle is crowded, as always, but has been fishing well, especially for anglers nymphing the faster water upstream. There are some little yellow stones and good evening caddis hatches coming off.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: Nymphs, streamers, and dries...they all have their place on Hat Creek, and the most effective anglers experiment with all three techniques depending on the time of day and water type.

Flies: ?Ģlittle yellow stones ?Į?Ģstonefly nymphs?Į?Ģcallibaetis dries?Į?Ģrusty spinners

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??For a fun challenge, try catching Hat Creek trout on as many tactics as you can: small indicators with nymphs, swinging wet flies and/or streamers, and, of course, with a well-presented dry fly. The Powerhouse #2 Riffle is one of the best spots on the creek, but also one of the most popular. Angler seeking a real challenge should sight-cast to trout in the fabled "carbon flats" section, and those looking for solace can hike into the freestone section just above Lake Britton.
