Upper Hat Creek: Fish and Game is back on a twice a week plant schedule so there should be lots of fish to go around. This past week was an excellent catch week for the Hat with lots of limits and nearly everyone catching fish. Fishing should get better as the summer wears on. Worms and eggs continue to work the best but Panther Martins were receiving a good workout as well. A lot of holdover fish remain, including some large brooder brookies. A few brooders were taken but these huge brookies are pretty cagey and tough to catch. Fly-fishing on the upper creek was good and a few nice fish are being caught on crystal buggers and nymphs.
