HOT CREEK SOLITUDE—Angler Mike Rafeh fished Hot Creek with Sierra Bright Dot, using a dry/dropper rig in between the weed beds. Soon, colder weather and higher flows will sweep away the weeds and a blanket of snow will add both beauty and challenge to winter fishing here.

Updated Nov. 21, 2024

HOT CREEK—Creek flows are still down and the summer weeds are still present, but look for brown to begin moving into the creek to spawn. Micro midges and standard egg patterns a good bet, and look for the afternoon Blue-wing Olive hatch.   

UPPER OWENS, PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIRThe focus now will be on larger rainbows moving into the river from Crowley Lake. The migration has begun, but numbers still low and fish are scattered and holding in the bends and deeper pools. Egg patterns, San Juan worms and Pheasant tails a good beet. Mornings are in the teens. No reports from Pleasant Valley Reservoir.
