Flow is manageable in the low flow section but high flow fluctuates in between flows id like to see but there are plenty of fish being found through the system also Fish being found up by the hatchery section above the Highway 70 bridge with fish scattered throughout the low flow and high flow sections. the time is now if you’re looking at wanting to chase some spring steelhead!

Hat Creek
I recently took a trip up to Hat Creek to explore some late winter, and early springtime options, and with no surprise there was plenty of action. I saw scattered hatches throughout the day, including Bluewing olives, midges, and some caddis later in the day. I was able to do all tactics which was fun, got to throw dry flies siping fish in the flat water, and chase some nymphs in the faster runs along the edges.
Fly Suggestions: Rubber legs, Red worms, S&M Nymph olive and black, caddis poopah in tan.
Baum Lake
Baum Lake is in season! with not many fishing options this is a very fun place to spend your day, with lots of variety of hatches going on.
