The creek is seeing less pressure and Hat would be a good option for some good fishing and sight seeing. Blue Wing Olives and Callibaetis are still hatching and the current class is small. 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. October Caddis pupas should be moving around a lot more now, the hatch is probably a ways away, but now would be the time have the Mercer's TB October Pupa in your box. Fished in the lower sections these can be dynamite.
Hot Flies: TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, Rubberlegs, Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, and Green Drakes
