I would really like to tell you that the SJ is on fire-drop what you are doing, pick up a 3/4wt. & get down here as fast as you can with any dry flies you can dig up.. Not so this fall friends. The water is very low & conditions are fair at best. Hit the deepest pools & runs, you will need to cover more water than usual in all beats.,BR>

Crowley Lake: Brown Trout & Cutts are biting even better than Rainbows at Lake Crowley
Owens River - Middle: Fishing on the Middle Owens River, that section below the Pleasant Valley dam is more consistent
Owens River - Gorge: Fishing the Owens River Gorge can be very productive here using dry/dropper bead head combos
Owens River - Section 3 - Upper (above Crowley): The fall migration of Browns from Lake Crowley to the Upper Owens should begin soon
Bridgeport Reservoir: Bridgeport Reservoir water level is very low
Hot Creek: Fishing is good on Hot Creek for those areas not filled with weeds
East Walker River (CA): The fish are in the East Walker they are just in very limited areas
West Walker River (Section 2): The West Walker is better than most with regards to flows

Owens River: Flows on the middle Owens are back up to 300cfs.
Owens River: Nice Rainbows & a few Browns are being caught on the Upper Owens
East Walker River (CA): Sierra Drifters has opted not to guide on the East Walker so as not to harm the fish this year
Hot Creek: Hot Creek is not fishing as well as we usually see on Hot Creek
East Walker River (CA): West Walker fishing is affected by the lower than usual water. Fish the nice runs & deeper pools
Bridgeport Reservoir: How the management at Bridgeport Reservoir is keeping up with the times! LOL
San Joaquin River: If you are a dry fly fisherman you may want to consider fishing the San Joaquin
: Most of the day hike alpine lakes are in fair to good shape
