The Trout Fitter Staff

Water Conditions
Flows out of the power plant have stabilized but always watch out if you notice it getting deeper, slow at first, then oops how to I get back to other side?

Fishing conditions and Hatches
The stream section is a good alternative to the lower Owens. Midges coming off as early as 8 am followed by baetis hatch at about noon.
The lake section has been good for float tubers pulling streamers. Find the congregation of local bait guys, who will locate the fish for you bt don't encroach too close or you might get some hardware in your lap!

Recommended Flies
Nymphs: Size 18 Zebra midges, non-beaded flashback PT's, or gray/black Optimidges. Size 10-20 Poxy-backed baetis or Micro mayflies in the afternoon.
Dries: If you see them sipping, Para-Adams and Baetis Dry's, size 16-20.
