Lower Owens

Mr. Rosin with a nice bend!

Flow-125cfs.

Flows have come up but fishing is still good, weve had a week of warmer temps which will get that water temp up and closer to optimum. Rumor is we will be fishing here into April before summer flows go into effect.

The BWO’s are still hatching from about 11:30-1 P.M. If you aren’t seeing fish coming up for them, hunt around, they aren’t always eating them everywhere. We’re also seeing more caddis showing up, small buckskin larva, Amiocentrus and Brachycentrus have been found in recent samples. Brachy’s make a square tube case and Amio’s will make a tube that looks like an ice cream cone. Trailing a soft hackle, adult or diving caddis behind your BWO isn’t a bad idea. Look for hatching caddis after the BWO’s around 3pm. This is a super fun hatch, these caddis provide tricky and exciting dry fly fishing!!

Streamers in the early A.M. and evening can be a lot of fun!! Call to learn more about the complexities of streamer fishing! There is more than one streamer tactic that gets fish on the Lower O!! 760-920-0659
