East Walker: 166 c.f.s.
The East Walker has been fishing very well again this week with perfect mid-day temps and a smorgasborg of activity on the water, this has in turn produced some great days on the water. This week I have seen midges, p.m.d.'s, yellow sallies, caddis flies, b.w.o's, and crane flies. I would suggest fishing early and late as the fish are seeking shade and cooler temperatures during mid-day. I would suggest dry/dropper combo's for the mornings and late evenings and then switching over to a double nymph rig for the afternoon's. Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Adams, Perfect little yellow stone, and stimi's have all been a good bet as your dry. We have a few open slots for this week so make your reservation early in order to insure a great day on the river.
Upper Owens: 109 c.f.s.
The Upper Owens has been fishing very well this week with great water clarity and a host of bug activity this has produced some great days of fishing on this spring creek. Twenty to thirty fish days are not uncommon at this time. I would suggest fishing below the bridge as well as the river channel leading into Crowley Lake. There is a good concentration of fish in this area right now and would be my top pic for fishing the O this week. I would suggest fishing caddis pupa and p.m.d. nymphs in the mornings and then switching over to midges and small baetis patterns for the afternoon's. Also, if you are in the mood for stripping you can use a Type 2 sinking tip with callabaetis and damsel fly patterns in the river channel and have a hell of a good time! Get out there and enjoy the great fishing that is happening on the O this week.
Lower Owens: 452 c.f.s.
We will be fishing here when the flows are below 350 c.f.s. this fall.
The Gorge: 65 c.f.s.
The gorge has been fishing very well again this week in the morning's and late afternoon's. There has been an excellent caddis hatch in the evenings with lot's of fish looking up. I would suggest fishing standard attractor's such as Trudes, Humpies, and Elk hair caddis patterns in the sizes of 16-18. Also, bring plenty of water and sunscreen as the mid-day temps are soaring high in the gorge right now. Long shirts are in order as the stinging nettle is very prevelant right now.
Crowley Lake: Fair-Good
This week Crowley Lake has been fishing a lot more consistent as the algae bloom is begining to secede. The fishing pressure has been very high on the lake as the areas that we can fish right now are few and far between. I would suggest fishing the areas of Mcgee Bay in 4-12 feet, Little Hilton in 10-14 feet, Crooked Creek in 10-15 feet, and Upper Owens River Channel in 7-12 feet. The flies that I would suggest this week would be larva and pupa patterns in gray/black, black/silver, black/red, and grey/silver. For those of you tugging streamers out there I would suggest fishing callabaetis and damsel fly patterns on a Type 2 sinking tip. Concentrate on the areas of cooler water near river mouths as well as weed and scum lines throughout the lake. Good Luck and Happy hunting!
Best Fishes,
