The Trout Fitter Reports

for Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Lake Mary: Streamers are working best at Lake Mary and Lake George
Hot Creek: The fishing is excellent at Hot Creek, even with the high flows
Crowley Lake: Crowley is OK but avoid the algae and fishing is better
Owens River: The flows are much better on the Uper Owens and the fishing is improving
Owens River: The flows are better but the Lower Owens is still a little cloudy so the fishing is just good
Bridgeport Reservoir: Focus on the Bridgeport's Inlets and Outlets for best results

The Trout Fitter Reports

for Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Lake George: Lake Mary & Lake George are finally defrosting and are fishable
Hot Creek: Despite the higher flows fishing is excellent on Hot Creek
San Joaquin River: Road is open to the San Joaquin, but it's not quite fishable yet.
Crowley Lake: The fish are still moving around at Lake Crowley so you have to search them out
Owens River: The Upper Owens flows are making the fishing tough, use nymphs and get them down where the fish are
Owens River: Conditions and fishing are excellent at the Owens River Gorge
Owens River: As the flows subside, fishing is improving on the Lower Owens
Bridgeport Reservoir: Bridgeport Reservoir fishing is very good right now
East Walker River: With flows at 785 cfs, fishing is very difficult on the East Walker
