The Hat Creek valley received more snow, there's 16 - 20" on the ground right now so we're not sure how or if you can get down to the Powerhouse 2 Riffle area or into the lower section north of 299. We'd suggest fishing somewhere else for now. During this time of year on cloudy days you can see some midges and Baetis hatching. When that does happen, look for fish to be sipping spinners in the mornings down on the flats. The Powerhouse Riffle will begin to see some larger fish stacking in, don't forget to use a Rubberlegs as this section regularly has Salmonfly larvae moving around in it.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
