Hosmer Lake was incredible for Sean and I this week. Our best flies were a Jig Red PT and a Red ice Cream Cone. We also caught fish on Callibaetis Cate’s and Poxyback Callibaetis. 
I’ve had multiple friends tell me how well they are doing on a Black Assassin and our Black Double Down nymph is a CDC version Assassin. A great nymph under an indicator here, or stripped on a Hover or Clear Camo line. 
Some good explosive takes on a Damsel nymphs and adults. A few Traveling Caddis around, problably more in the evening before dark. Mayfly hatches continue to elude me while I am present on the lake? Weird. But hey, they are chowing on the nymphs so what the heck.
