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
