Lower Owens fly fishing is always satisfying, yet recently has been cranked up and down by the LADWP and now sits at 490cfs a second. Although this is a very high flow for this time of year it is going to be very short-lived. These high flows during hot parts of the year retains the low cool temperatures of the running water making for a very healthy system. And in turn, larger and healthier trout! We have been seeing some amazing Brown Trout coming out of the Lower Owens recently. Caddis are still on the water and need to be in an anglers box. Midge Larvae, and Baetis patterns, in very small – medium sizes are also what the trout are seeing and eating in the Lower O. These high flows should not continue long as the reservoirs are getting very low at the moment…
