Haven't been up there in awhile so I don't have any info but You can check with the fly shop in redding for the latest report or check their website.

If your in shingle town you may also check out manzanita lake in lassen park.

Go into the wild trout section at the Power House #2 on Hat Creek and fish that riffle there and flat water below.

Lots of really small mayflies now....#18 BWO dries on top with 6x tippet.

Go fish the Pit instead.

gangster,

I am thinking of heading up next week so post a report on water conditions.

I have always done well on a black AP nymph both in Burney wild and Planted sections. I still think below the falls to Lake Britton may be the prettiest place I have ever fished. Caddis dries are good here to.

Upper Hat Caddis dries and Prince nymphs for the Brookies work well.

Have not done to well on the portion of the Hat below the Powerhouses so I dont have much advice here.

Good luck, I love it at this time of year...Not to many people and beautiful scenery.

p.s. Last I heard Baum Lake had been drained to fix the dam so call ahead before you fish here.

Pit is even Better! Expect perfect conditions and no crowds.

What section of the pit should I fish and how do I get there from shingletown?
I like new water....and no crowds.

fished hat last week, below powerhouse #2....did pretty good, couple really nice fish and a few little guys in an evening. 7x tippet and tiny nymphs and dries. fished the whole area up there, and agree with others....fish the pit, absolutely hammered them there.

Any fly suggestions for the pit?

I'm used to fishing the truckee..Carson's etc.
Any specific areas on the pit?
