Excellent bite here with lots of bug activity. Conditions will change after the next cold front rolls through, but that just translates to finding what the fish want to eat. Switching to the right flies will keep you on the fish throughout the day. Fall is a great time for Hot Creek and big fish! We can show you how it is done here as we are one of the few guide services in the area that are Inyo National Forest Service permitted!

Best Flies: Flashback PT’s #16-#20, Tricos Spinners #20-22, SD Crawlers in Red #14, Copper Tiger Midges #18-20, and #18 Assassin Dark.
