Pictured Above: Fly fishing near Mammoth has been very good in some locations. Sung Kim will vouch for this! This migratory trophy rainbow trout was caught on an ASSASSIN while he was guided on the Upper Owens. Great fish Sung!

The Sierra received it's first dusting of snow in the upper elevations, and we are enjoying seasonal temperatures with the onset of fall. Plan on morning temps to be in the twenties in the upper valleys, thirties and low forties in the Owens Valley from here on out. Lot's of color to look at in the canyons as the deciduous trees change for winter.

The water conditions in some areas remain poor due to low flows & levels. We can only hope for a big winter to help these locations out for next year.

The fires are out & no longer a factor here in the Sierra. Great to have that clean, fresh air again!

The crowds of summer are gone and there is some fine fly fishing to be had currently. The general trout season will remain open until Novemebr 15th, many waters are open year around so don't put those rods away folks. Hope you can make it up to fish with this fall.

All the flies I mention in this report can be bought online with Paypal or Visa/MC. Just click on the "fly sales" link at the top of our web page.
