Water conditions:
The flow on this section of the Owens River is maintained at a constant 40 cfs by the LADWP as mandated by law.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good
Now that the season opener has kicked off you should expect to see fewer people fishing the gorge this time of year . Recent reports have been very good . Lots of fish are being caught using dry dropper rigs.

Recommended Flies:
Try #16-18 Parachute Caddis in Brown,#16 Elk Hair Caddis, #16 Parachute Adams, #16 Stimi and #16-18 Humpy. For the dropper use a #18-20 Prince Nymph, #18-20 Zebra Midge, #16-20 Caddis Pupa in Tan, or a #18-20 Zug Bug. If you stick with these bugs you should have good success.

Guides Hint: Do not get caught up in having a thousand different bugs. Bring your five favorite patterns, use some stealth and get a good drift. That's the beauty of the Gorge, Simplicity!
