The Upper Owens River is meandering thru is snow covered meadows at a rate of 70cfs until Hot Creek runs in and adds around 50+cfs… The change is not as noticeable as it would seem as far as river access and general fishability.  Fish are found in most holes,  runs,  cuts,  and deep riffles from the bridge to as far up as you want to go.  Snow levels have dropped dramatically from my last report and the included  photos will reflect that. We have been walking in,  and taking sleds (snowmobiles) in as well when needed.  The mornings have been cooler and freezing the snow rock hard for easy access and unlimited walking ability. It hasn’t happened recently but if it warms up too quickly the snow can become soft and it be a pain to walk out if you choose that route.  Some days there will be a fair amount of people and some days you will have it all to yourself. There is no Rhyme or Reason to this but generally more are seen on the weekends. Fish the same patterns as mentioned in my last report; large attractors,  spawning colored egg patterns, and various types of SJ Worms in larger sizes to extract these awesome fish!
