The Upper Owens Flows are down and fishing is decent-good... Each hole will indeed hold fish but pretty much all the HUGE specimens we were getting a couple of months ago daily have made an exodus from the river for now... If Crowley gets green and ugly real quick we could see new some rather large Sierra Trout coming up again to live and breathe the clean spring water of the Upper Owens. Attractor Nymphs are doing well in Reds and Purples with the usual patterns I mentioned in my last reports still working. Small, and this SJ worms, Green Caddis Worms and the like will take fish in #14-18. Streamers will always take fish here but the new news is you can throw a HOPPER pattern up against some of the banks and bends and get some great eats!
