Mammoth Lakes : The fish are more active in the Mammoth Lakes area because of warming water
Hot Creek: Dry Flies are the ticket on Hot Creek right now, Tricos in the AM & Caddis in the PM
San Joaquin River: Because of the flows, there might not be much fishable water on the San Joaquin much longer
Crowley Lake: Algae is definitely a problem on Lake Crowley
Owens River: Flows and weather are perfect for wet wading on the Upper Owens, watch out for the mud snails
