Northern California: , by Andrew Harris: 3 stars I took Randy to Burney Creek and Hat Creek today. Burney Creek is high but is fishable in a few prime spots. Not a lot of fish around, though. Hat Creek looks great despite getting shallower every season. Randy landed a nice 12" rainbow on a nymph and hooked a bunch of smaller fish on dries. There was a sparse hatch of small PMDs size 16-18 in the afternoon. In general, the hatches seem late all over the intermountain region. No sign of stoneflies on the McCloud or Hat Creek, although a few are buzzing around on the Pit. Fall River is having a late start, with the fish not dispersed yet and the weeds just starting to grow in. This late start bodes well for the next few weeks. Book a trip soon for some good dry fly fishing.
