Fish Report for 12-11-2008

Owens Lake Fish Report - Open year round for catch and release fishing only.

12-11-2008

Water Conditions: GOOD

As of December 11 the flow above Hot Creek confluence is 101 CFS.

The water is clear and cold.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: GOOD

There are still a lot of fish in the Upper Owens right now but pretty lethargic.

There is a baetis hatch midday but fairly short. Once they start feeding they are pretty voracious. Go big.

Recommended Flies:

Olive WD-40 in sizes 20-22 and RSL's size 18-20 have been top producers early. Midday as the feed gets going go to big and buggy ... Pt's, Hares Ear, Prince Nymphs in sizes 16 to 18 under a San Juan=2 0Worm or Glo Bug. They are hungry and know winter is coming!
