The Trout Fitter Reports

for Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Mammoth Lakes : The Water is getting colder so the fish are active later in the day. Fish Streamers & Nymphs
Hot Creek: Fly Fishing with Midges and Caddis are the imitations of choice at Hot Creek
San Joaquin River: Dry dropper set ups are working the best for Fly Fishermen on the San Joaquin
Crowley Lake: The Fish are on the move at lake Crowley, so the Fisherman have to move if the is no action.
Owens River: The Spawning is beginnig in the Upper Owens
Owens River: Fly Fishing can be very good in the Owens River Gorge, the problem is getting by the stinging nettle
Owens River: Fly Fishing is still challenging on the Lower Owens because of the high flows
