Fish Report for 8-21-2012
Eastern Sierra Fishing Coniditions
8-21-2012
Tom Loe
The afternoon thunderstorms continue to roll through the region bringing some significant rain to the upper elevations. A couple of the storms even dusted the highest peaks with snow, and some of the freestone creeks swelled and ran off color for a few days. If this pattern keeps up we could be in for a much needed huge winter.
Flows are generally very low in most rivers and creeks for this time of year with the exception being the Lower Owens River which is currently at 535cfs-(near flood) and not fishing well. Air temps have been very warm even in the upper valleys, the OV is broiling with highs around the 100 mark daily. Make sure you have foul weather gear if you are planning on visiting the Sierra and keep an eye on those T-storms while boating or float tubing the alpine lakes.
