Hot Creek is a very good fishing spot this year because it is a spring fed creek

Spring creeks by nature have more stability and are good choices to fish in low or high water years. The weeds are a major factor this summer and forget extended drifts in most of the popular runs. Fishing a dry fly is the best way to get on fish currently. Look for a strong caddis emergence with some smaller mayflies at times. Step back and see if you can locate an individual fish that is "pattern" feeding. Lead your cast well upstream if possible, and if you get rejected after a few casts, wait until the fish gets confidence and begins rising again before making another presentation. Longer leaders will get more looks for sure.
