Flows moderate, ok for wading
Power House 2 on Hat Creek down to Weir before Lake Britton Dam all running at good levels, clear to a little off color and should fish moderately for dries, dry-droppers or nymphing- Look for Blue Wing Olive hatches mid day but in the mornings nymph with very small flies size 18 and 20’s like Wd 40’s, black micro may flies, Pt’s, Z wing caddis and size 16 poxy back golden stones. Mid day look for sulphur dun hatches and use size 16 pink cahills no parachute, blue wing olive dry flies size 18 & 16. possible size 16 stimulator with droppers off the dry fly. Baetis hatches before noon daily, spinner fall and PMD hatch most afternoons. Soft-Hackles might just be the ticket.
Weekly trout plants will take place through Memorial Day when deliveries will increase to twice a week. Water conditions are ideal.
