Fishing conditions and Hatches

 The Tricos are still hanging in there, more so on Hot Creek Ranch and the Interpretive Site and now the Baetis are hatching 11 to around 2. Caddis are hatching in numbers all morning along with Craneflies. Tie on a Cranefly dry or a small stimulator and skitter it across the surface, you might get some splashy takes. Evenings are Midges with plenty of Caddis if the wind dies down.
