Pictured Above: Fly fishing near Mammoth has been very good in some locations. Sung Kim will vouch for this! This migratory trophy rainbow trout was caught on an ASSASSIN while he was guided on the Upper Owens. Great fish Sung!
The Sierra received it's first dusting of snow in the upper elevations, and we are enjoying seasonal temperatures with the onset of fall. Plan on morning temps to be in the twenties in the upper valleys, thirties and low forties in the Owens Valley from here on out. Lot's of color to look at in the canyons as the deciduous trees change for winter.
The water conditions in some areas remain poor due to low flows & levels. We can only hope for a big winter to help these locations out for next year.
The fires are out & no longer a factor here in the Sierra. Great to have that clean, fresh air again!
The crowds of summer are gone and there is some fine fly fishing to be had currently. The general trout season will remain open until Novemebr 15th, many waters are open year around so don't put those rods away folks. Hope you can make it up to fish with this fall.
All the flies I mention in this report can be bought online with Paypal or Visa/MC. Just click on the "fly sales" link at the top of our web page.
EAGLE LAKE. I have one day open for my fall trip, October 18th/Friday. I have a single experienced angler who is looking for a partner for this date if you are interested, or have a group that would like to fish for the fall slammers here. Call 760-935-4250 for info, or click on "waters we fish/Eagle Lake" at the top of the page please.

Tom Loe Reports
for Monday, September 30th, 2013
Owens River - Middle: There are perfect fly fishing conditions on the Middle Owens River right now
Owens River - Section 3 - Upper (above Crowley): Flows on the Upper Owens have reduced which means the fish are in the deeper pools and runs
Crowley Lake: The fish at Lake Crowley have split from McGee Bay and moved towards the north
Bridgeport Reservoir: Bridgeport Reservoir Fly Fishing Report (home of the fly fishing sheep)
Hot Creek: Hot Creek had a slight bump in flows here after the light snowfall, but it's still tough conditions
• Most Alpine Lakes are in good shape and fishing well.

Crowley Lake: Brown Trout & Cutts are biting even better than Rainbows at Lake Crowley

Owens River - Gorge: Fishing the Owens River Gorge can be very productive here using dry/dropper bead head combos
Owens River - Section 3 - Upper (above Crowley): The fall migration of Browns from Lake Crowley to the Upper Owens should begin soon
Bridgeport Reservoir: Bridgeport Reservoir water level is very low
Hot Creek: Fishing is good on Hot Creek for those areas not filled with weeds
East Walker River (CA): The fish are in the East Walker they are just in very limited areas
San Joaquin River: The water is very low & conditions on the San Joaquin River are fair
