Hot Creek is considered to be one of the best fly fisheries in the country. Its winding creek is known for being exceptionally challenging, but very rewarding. Full of large and wily brown, trout anglers travel from all over the world to test their mettle at "the creek". The upper part of the creek is home to the first warm water hatchery and the state. The Hot Creek hatchery originally opened in 1941, but local clubs started raising trout at Hot Creek in 1928.
