For the moment the winter run of extraordinary Trout has slowed down a bit. Nevertheless there are still fish to be caught in the smooth waters of the Upper Owens in the deeper runs, riffles, and undercut banks….which there are plenty of. Fly selection here is somewhat standard ; Soft Hackle Patterns, Pheasant Tails, Princes, Copper type stuff. Fish these is sizes #14-18. Knowing how long to fish a hole and move on determines success here. For Dries fish the standard Mayfly and Caddis imitations. Attractor patterns; Beetles, Hoppers, Ants ect. will also be on the menu on the Upper Owens Soon.
