The Lower Owens River continues to flow at a healthy flow of around 220cfs. Water is clear and water temperature is perfect and fluctuating in the 50’s. Fish are active on the surface on Stimulator patterns, beetles and other various Attractor patterns.  Caddis and PMDs can also be found throughout the day on various sections of the river.  Fish are  responding well to most of the bugs hatching in the Lower Owens River surface.  Nymphing always works here and the patterns mentioned above fished in nymphs and emerger patterns  styles will take fish all day long. Make sure to use enough weight to get your flies down to the fishes face.  Fish all these patterns in sizes #16-20. The Lower Owens River is shaping up to be a great place for a angler to enjoy himself fully this summer.  Wet wading has been comfortable and a pleasure. 

Success! Husband and wife dbl hookup.
