Hosmer Lake is open to fishing all year. The district office continues to receive positive reports on fly angling for Brook and Rainbow Trout. Hosmer was recently stocked with rainbow trout. Callibaetis and damsels are an integral part of the diet at Hosmer, and we recommend anglers stock their fly boxes accordingly. Restricted to fly-fishing only with barbless hooks. Catch-and-release for all species. Anglers are encouraged to check surface water temperatures throughout the day, especially in the lower lake, and follow best practices for angling and fish handling in hot water (see above).
