Hosmer Lake is fishing well in both the lower lake and upper lake, and while there are not a ton of trout in the channel yet, there are enough to put some focus on it. 
We got very few fish on Dries the last 2 days, but plenty on a Red PT Jig and a Hanging with my Chromies. By far these were the best, but a Jigged Callibaetis Cate and Red Holographic Jig produced for us too. 
There were a whole bunch of Callibaetis Spinners hovering about 1 or 2 each afternoon but we never saw any duns hatch from 7:30 AM until 4 PM when we left. Obviously there is a hatch occurring if there are so many spinners, but not in that time frame. Yet. 
Ants are always a smart fly choice at Homser. Damsel nymphs are important. A Black Double Down nymph stripped on a Hover, plus Soft Hackles and Callibaetis nymphs stripped on a Hover or Intermediate Line will be good. Don’t forget leeches and add some minnow patterns to the mix. 
There were a few sightings of the big Traveling Sedge so I am hopeful my trips this coming week will allow us to skitter a Goddard Caddis! The best take on the lake is with this hatch.
