Upper Owens

Flow- 74 cfs. Weather Water Temp- 60*F

The cutthroats are about done spawning, most are above Arcularius and in Glass Creek on the redds. Still a good idea to not wade anything shallow with gravel just to be 100% sure you dont step on Redds. Temps have risen causing runoff to increase and flows to come up a bit. The water is off color but the temp was 60*F if my thermometer was correct. The insect activity has reall picked up, Trico’s are out early and PMD’s are starting to hatch at around 9:30 am. Caddis are also out and buzzing around the waters suface laying eggs and we are even starting to see Yellow Sallies. It’s mosquito time, they have been mild but there are a few out so its a good idea to carry the bugspray. Just remember to rig up before you apply it, you dont want to get that smell on your flies.

It is a good time for fixed line dry fly fishing!
