Told ya so...Flows down to 135cfs out of PV.. UNHEARD OF FOR JULY. Too bad it is so hot cuz we would have crushed them on the Middle Owens River near Bishop after the sun got high. First timers Alice and Ken did very well for their drift boat trip today. Check out this nice hook jaw Alice got for her first fly fish to net. be the fly...tom

The Middle Owens River has been kicking out some trophy rainbows. Flows are very low making for great fly fishing conditions near Bishop and Mammoth. Alice got this nice buck on a recent drift trip.

Fly fishing conditions continue to be mixed depending on where you go. Areas prone to low water are not fishing as well, however some fisheries and alpine regions are benefiting from the dry conditions and low run-off. The Monsoons are in the weather picture currently and you could get some heavy T-storm and down pours in the afternoons and evenings.
