Report: The Hat Creek valley is cooling off and we should see some October Caddis coming off soon in the riffles above the 299 bridge. For now you should get a good BWO and midge hatch in the flats and Powerhouse 2 Riffle area. Dry-dropper rigs will allow you to pick up a fish or two on the dry, BP Weiss and the Weiss Firefly, Olive Hotspots, Sweet Peas, Zebra Midges and anything #18 or smaller is the name of the game for a dropper there. Bring the small dries, #18 - 22 Adams, and any Baetis dries you have. BWO nymphs to bring are the Sweet Pea, Zack's BWO Jig Nation, Olive S&M, Black Micro May, Rubberlegs, and whatever is jammed in the fly cup stuffed on the bottom of your pack - sometimes on Hat you get the inside slider when you're looking for the fastball. Hat Creek is fun in the fall!
