Hot Creek: Fishing is good at Hot Creek, but the bite window is only from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Owens River: In the middle of the day fish on the Owens River Gorge are active but there are not many hatches
Pleasant Valley Reservoir: Water at Pleasant Valley Reservoir is cold so the rule of thumb is "Deep, Dark & Slow"

East Walker River (CA): The flows are still not high enough on the East Walker to improve fishing
