Upper Owens River Fishing Report

Hot Creek continues to fish well with not much change, water is still low and the terrestrial  bug action is winding down due to the cooler nights we are experiencing. A caddis hatch comes off throughout most of the river late evening a couple hours before dark.
Weeds are still abundant but the skilled fly fisherman can get past these as all the nice hot Creek fish are still in there. For flies try the same patterns mentioned in my last report for success. Make sure to use plenty of small green caddis worms and adults #18-22. Small Midge Emergers #18-22. And Beatles in hoppers during the hottest part of the day,  the terrestrial action will be ending soon. Some tricos have been present in the morning but only in certain parts of Hot Creek. Fish #20-22 Trico patterns when these are present.
