Fish Report for 9-19-2013
Check each alpine location you wish to fish/visit before making the treking into the mountains
9-19-2013
Tom Loe
I suggest you check each alpine location you wish to fish/visit before making the trek into elevation. They vary greatly and because we do not guide many of them I will not give specific information as to how the conditions are in each location. This is a very low water year and some are out of business for boat rentals and launching. The larger resorts are getting ample stockings with some CDFW brood fish this fall. Lakes are doing much better than creeks and rivers this fall so it will pay off to hit these fisheries with a tube for more consistent action weather permitting. Streamer fishing with full or heavy sink tips using Agent Orange, Spruce-A-Bu's, Loebergs, & crystal Leeches is a constant in these locations (stockers are opportunistic) and you will also find some holdover fish taking midge and callibaetis nymphs in some locations. Find the drop offs and inlets, or sub-surface structure like tree stumps and rocks - suspend nymph patterns below an Under-cator to fool these rascals.

Owens River: Nice Rainbows & a few Browns are being caught on the Upper Owens
East Walker River (CA): Sierra Drifters has opted not to guide on the East Walker so as not to harm the fish this year
Hot Creek: Hot Creek is not fishing as well as we usually see on Hot Creek
East Walker River (CA): West Walker fishing is affected by the lower than usual water. Fish the nice runs & deeper pools
Bridgeport Reservoir: How the management at Bridgeport Reservoir is keeping up with the times! LOL
