Hat Creek, CA Fly Fishing Report **October 3, 2010**

Fly Fishing Report Submitted by: Sean Wallentine


Location: Hat Creek, CA

Details: Fished near the headwaters on October 2, 2010, with friend Christian Hill from Colorado. We spent about 3 hours fishing dries with nymph droppers and also used an indicator with two nymphs. I caught 9 fish: 6 browns, 2 brook trout and 1 rainbow. The weather was perfect: no wind, and 75 degrees. Hat Creek is a splendid fishery and just about as beautiful as a creek can possibly be.

Spring Runoff

Whether you are in the Sierras or the Rockies, the spring runoff seems to be making up for previous years of drought. Here in the west, some of the lakes and reservoirs are filling up to capacity and sometimes exceeding.
