We've had a roller coaster weather pattern and we are on the backside of a lot of rain. The good news is the Hat Creek valley did not receive a lot of snow. We will see chilly temps over the weekend with lows in the teens. This could be a decent afternoon venture with sunny skies. The Rainbows will be heading up into and above the Powerhouse 2 Riffle area to spawn, we like to give them some space to propagate the next generation of our friends. If you go, emerging insects will probably be smaller mayflies like Baetis and midges. Zebra Midges in #18 or 20, S&M's in #18 and other Baetis nymphs fished under a larger dry is one of the more productive methods during the late fall and winter. Rubberlegs in the deeper holes will cajole a large fish to eat. In the flats below the Powerhouse 2 Riffle, target sipping fish with the appropriately sized Adams, #18-20 would be about the largest we can recommend. 

Hot Flies: 
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Rubberlegs
• Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• S&M Nymph
• Walt's Worm
• Peaches n' Green
• BP Weiss Nymph
