Fish Report for 2-25-2013

The water is cold on the Upper Owens so fish deep, dark & slow

The Trout Fitter Staff

Water Conditions: Good as of 2/24 the flows are up to 113 cfs. 4X4 OK on main road but don't go trail blazing. The tow bill is staggering, escpecally for Hummers that "can go anywhere".

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good to Excellent. There are still some big Crowley fish being caught mostly up by Long Ears. Flows remain at nice levels for wading. Water is still cold so get down to the fish "deep dark and slow" wih the streamers will get the job done.

Recommended Flies:

DRIES: Parachute Adams #18, Brooks Sprout Baetis #18, CDC Baetis Emerger #18-#20, Kaufman Stimulator #18

NYMPHS: Prince Nymph #16-#18, Copper John #18, Birds Nest Olive #16-#18, San Juan Worm, Tung. Psycho #18, Hogans S&M Nymph #18, PT Cruser #18, Superflash PT #18, Micromay Olive #16-#18, Zebra Midge #18, Copper Tiger Midge ##18-#20, WD-40 Olive #18-#20
