Lower Owens River Fishing Report

Owens River - CA

The lower (downstream of the Bishop Creek confluence) drift boat sections are blown out due to high flows. The only good thing to do in this area currently is get a truck tire inner tube, a six pack of barley pops, and take a float to cool off! Look for excellent conditions this fall beginning in mid September.

Wading the upper sections @ 450cfs is not too fun. The late afternoons and very early mornings when it is cooler can still provide some good opportunities to fish in the larger accessible pools and runs. Caddis & PMD's #16-18-both nymphs and dries.

The banks are undermined and can be unstable. I suggest you examine the edge before you posture yourself along the bank in a precarious position.
