Fishing conditions: Fair to Good
Report: We'll see more small bugs coming off this month with the main course being the BWOs and midges. Look for rising fish in the flats, the riffles below the Hwy 299 bridge will yield fish on Rubberlegs and Golden Stone nymphs. Dry-dropper rigs will allow you to pick up a fish or two on the dry, BP Weiss and the Weiss Firefly, Olive Hotspots, Sweet Peas, Zebra Midges and anything #18 or smaller is the name of the game for a dropper there. Bring the small dries, #18 - 22 Adams, and any Baetis dries you have. BWO nymphs to bring are the Sweet Pea, Zack's BWO Jig Nation, Olive S&M, Black Micro May, Rubberlegs, and whatever is jammed in the fly cup stuffed on the bottom of your pack - sometimes on Hat you get the inside slider when you're looking for the fastball. Hat Creek is fun in the fall!
