Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good

Speaking of broken records, NO people and great fishing. Well we got the thunderstorms without the rain but it was nice to get the overcast,we'll see how long this lasts. Evenings, the evening dry fly action is excellent, the hard part is figuring out what they're eating out of the 4 or 5 insects available. Not a lot of reports but what we've gotten are still consistently good. Still fishing well and still no crowds. If you want to escape the crowds head down to the Lower Owens. It's been getting hot down there but luckily the best fishing is early morning until mid morning.. if your wading you might stick around longer for the midday Mayflies and Little Yellow Sallies.The Tricos are in full swing, female emergence starts about 7 and spinner fall around 9 with the male emergence in the evening. At first light the micro Caddis are coming off so you can start your day early. The best dry fly action is in the evening.

There have been a few Rattlesnake sightings along the river recently, keep your eyes and ears open. This is between PVR campground and the dam.
