Hat Creek - CA (Shasta County)

Fishing conditions: Fair to Good
Report: This is the slow season for Hat Creek and you will see predominantly Blue Wing Olives and midges if you see a hatch at all. Some good days can be had in the flats and lower in the system below Highway 299 with the winter stoneflies. There are a lot of smaller mayflies and midges coming off, so small Zebra Midges and the BP Weiss nymph works well under a dry. We would also like to take this chance to remind folks who fish the Powerhouse 2 riffle that the wild trout spawn in this section. Use caution to stay off of any redds and let the fish do their thing so we have a healthy fish population.
