The Trout Fitter Reports

for Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Mammoth Lakes Basin: Basin Lakes have thawed & there is fishing from the shores of the lakes
Hot Creek: When fishing Hot Creek check out the Caddis hatch in the evening
Crowley Lake: At Crowley you can catch almost as many Browns & Cutthraots as Rainbows with a big, fat Perch
Owens River: Upper Owens fishing is fair to good & the water is a little off color
Owens River: The flow at the Owens River Gorge is 175 cfs & the fishing is good
Pleasant Valley Reservoir: Water is still cold at Pleasant Valley Reservoir so the rule of thumb is "Deep dark and slow"
