Hot Creek

Current Report

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stream Information

Much of Hot Creek is a classic winding grass lined meadow stream that is a 'must fish' destination. The first access is below the hatchery where it flow only about 200 yards down to the famous Hot Creek Ranch property. The public water is below the ranch and is just under a mile in length and is heavily fished too. It is usually very good early on in May, then there is a run-off period of a few weeks. July is usually another good time to fish there. Fall can be good too.
