The Upper Owens River continues to flow around the same velocity as my last reports. Clarity is similar and temperature is up a few degrees into the fifties.  Large Trout are still coming to hand. Most days are dreamy and sun filled on the Upper Owens this February.  Actual numbers of fish seem to be up with smaller residents also trying their luck on eating well placed flies.  Throughout the system in the deepest and obvious big fish lies the tenacious Angler will bright a unlikely large Rainbow Trout to hand.  The same Fly  patterns hold…  It seems as if we are also using a wider variety of flies as spring draws in.  SJ worms are still always on the menu, lots of green Caddis,  soft hackles, and small stones all in #10-18 are bringing the 4+lbers to the net!
