Perfect Bow Hot Creek June 2011

Hot Creek is higher than we usually see it! Nymphing deep is
not something one usually does in this creek, but now, it is possible. 5x
instead of 6x and bigger flies can be used. Water is dirtier than usual but
well within fly fishing standards. Crystal Pheasant Tails, and Robo Pheasant
Tails in sizes #16-20, Princes #16-18, Various Caddis Pupa #16-20, Zebra and
Tiger Midges in #16-20 and various other attractor and popular Hot Creek
Patterns are also still on the Menu. Some top water action can still be found
during these times. Fish are actually coming up and at least looking and
sometimes eating attractor patterns used as the indicator fly. Also Baetis and
Caddis are still getting eaten on top in certain seams. Small Elk Hair Caddis,
Fertile and Hot Creek Caddis in sizes #16-20 will take fish.
