As of recent, fly fishing the Lower Owens River near Bishop, California, has seen an increase in activity due to water flow, now rising to 195 cubic feet per second. This increase, thanks to the recent storms, has somewhat revitalized the fishery, making for some excellent fishing conditions.The river’s flow has created perfect opportunities for anglers, especially with the hatch that starts around noon. The BWO (Blue-Winged Olive) hatch is bringing some solid action on some days, with #16-18 BWO’s proving to be the most effective dry flies. If you’re fishing subsurface, the most productive patterns have been Paradons, Soft Hackles, and Midges. These are the go-to flies for anglers looking to target fish beneath the water, as they’re working well in the current.With the recent rise in water and favorable hatches, the fishing has been consistent, and it’s a great time to visit the Lower Owens River for some productive angling.
