Hot Creek is small, weedy and full of trout that have seen everything. This is a technical water selection: small flies, fine profiles, and the patterns that matter during the morning window when the creek actually fishes.

$29. The same twelve bought one at a time comes to $33 even with our buy eleven get one free, so this saves you four dollars and the guesswork.

What is in it

• Gemma Trico Dun. For the hatch itself.

• Trico Male Poly Spinner. For the spinner fall near 9, which catches the most fish.

• Thorax Trico. The third look when they refuse the first two.

• Spent Partridge Caddis. Splashy rises are caddis, not tricos.

• Elk Hair Caddis, Brown. The visible option in bad light.

• Bead Body Scud, Olive. What these fish eat every day of the year.

• Black Gnat Parachute. Pulls a fish up out of nowhere on a warm morning.

• Foam Beetle. The other terrestrial worth carrying.

• TG BH Zebra Midge, Black. Under a dry, the safe searching rig.

• Tungsten Zebra Midge, Red. Heavier, for the deeper lanes.

• Adams Parachute. General purpose when something small is up.

• CDC BWO Dry. For the midday blue winged olive.

Fish it before eleven, aim at the clear lanes rather than the weeds, and keep the drift short.

Fish them. If a pattern does not do its job, tell us and we will replace it or refund it. We would rather hear from you than lose you.

Every fly is hand tied by us and ships with a tutorial for the water it is made for. Questions to 395flyco@gmail.com.
