The Lower Owens has been an interesting river this summer with fluctuating flows and prime trout feeding water
temperatures. We have been fishing it every week during the day and hitting the hatch of caddis and PMD’s at the last hour
of daylight. PMD’s, Caddis and midge patterns have been doing the trick on top and below the water. Like usual, fish the
foam and slow water for success here. Dry fly action happens one to two hours before the darkness falls. Bubbleback
emergers #16-18, Poly wings #18-20, Purple and standard Prince Nymphs #14-18, Copper Jons in Green and Brass #16-18 and the
like will take fish when put in the front of a fishes face.. On the surface in the evenings try Light Cahills, Para PMD’s,
and Ext. Body Mayfly patterns sizes #16-20 depending on the size of the bugs you see out that particular evening. There is
always a spot to find rising fish in the evenings without having to enter the water. Things are green and lush, it is quite

Kiras First Trout !!

Max with LO wild Brown

a different experience than fishing it during the winter when all is brown and dead.
