Trout have been active in both the Upper and Lower Owens. The Lower is fishing well with good flows and a reliable dry fly window late morning—try blue wing olives and caddis. Drift boats are doing well, but wading anglers are also finding fish with nymphs, small streamers, and dries in the Wild Trout section. Stocked stretches below Bishop are producing.

Up top, the Upper Owens is holding big rainbows in deeper holes, but melting ice and mud have made access tough. You’ll likely need to hoof it to reach the slow, deep water where fish are holding. Egg and leech patterns are getting bit. Conditions are warming and improving daily.
