The storms have come and gone and the Hat Creek Valley is cooling off and we are looking at a super fall season. Hoppers are still around and some fish will come up to eat them if you are stealthy. The Hopper Grande in brown or tan #14 or 12 should work well. Super small white Mayflies and midges are abundant, this storm should have the Blue Wing Olives hatching in force. Tricos should continue for a while. The Callibaetis are small right now, Bring size #18 &20 for the Callibaetis, and #16 or smaller for the PMDs. Nymph-wise, if you are fishing the flats, the BP Weiss nymph, X-Mays in #18, or Sweet Peas are great to have along with some Peaches n' Cream and Zallibaetis. Fishing those under a small indicator or swung and stripped can get fish. The north sections below the 299 bridge are great places to swing cinnamon Poopahs or Soft Hackles in the evenings.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
