Owens River - CA
5-14-2007
It has been many moons since we have had fishable flows on the Lower "O" this time of year and it has been great!?? The LADWP will not commit as to when they shall begin releasing the hounds, but I expect it to be shortly after Memorial Day.?? We have been told that they are not planning a long term flushing flow summer either.?? 400-500 tops??? We are licking our chops with thoughts of moderate and stable flows during September.?? Next fall and early winter will log some epic days.?? Mark my words.??
Pmd mayflies and olive bodied caddis #16-18 are the bug de'jour on top, with consistent midges coming off if you experience a cooler day or low barometer during your trip.?? The fish are in the riffle water and tailouts during the hatches and moving into the pools, undercuts and deeper runs during the mid-days.?? WD-40's, flashback Pt's and crystal zebras and tigers in the #16-22 range will get it done.??
Floating the river from our drift boats has been very consistent and we are fooling them on streamer patterns with moderate sinking tip lines most days.?? Loebergs?Ķ.be that fly and you will get the grabs!?? Have the dark heads for the low light and cloudy days; use the lighter hackles for the remainder.??
Randy Burnett from Newbury Park, CA and a long time key employee with Abel Reels received a gift certificate from his mother Barbara to float with us recently.?? Randy's goal was to get a trout over twenty inches.?? Winner, winner, chicken dinner!?? Check out his aerobatic 21" bow that he caught and released on the Lower Owens.?? Hope you win the club prize Randy.
