The Lower Owens River is fishing strong right now. Low flows and warm daytime temps in the mid-60s are creating ideal conditions. Wild rainbows and browns, mostly in the 9-12 inch range, are feeding actively. Mid-day mayfly hatches have fish rising, so dry fly anglers should target areas with visible surface action with small mayfly patterns.

Nymphing remains the most effective approach right now though. Small bead head patterns, mayfly nymphs, and midges in sizes 16-20 are all performing well. Wading into harder-to-reach sections of the river gives you the best chance at finding less pressured fish.
