Lower Owens River Fishing Report

It really has been very good down here this winter. Float trips are kicking out good numbers while streamer fishing the Drifters "dip & strip" method. Spruce-a-Bu's & Punk Perch #8-12 used with a moderate sinking tip work well. The bigs are also on the chew as the pictures will validate. Dry fly action is starting to pick up nicely as well with the first generation BWO hatches triggering a nice afternoon surface flurry. The adults are #16; keep them floating high and in the suds [foam lines] during the emergence. The hatch peaks just after 1pm most days. Flows are perfect (under 100cfs) for wading above the confluence of the Bishop Creek as of this report. The wild trout section has been very popular with the mild weather on weekends, I suggest you scout out the water below & upstream from this area for some less trafficked water. Nymphing with #16-20 bead head midges or may fly imitations will get er' done.
