The Lower Owens River flows have dropped even more which is good news for wading on the Wild Trout Sectionand around the Five Bridges area. Smaller nymphs this time of year are a good call to get down in the deeper holes where the wild fish are holding. You will see some October Caddis flying around throughout the day, but no major hatches of them. We are still sticking to throwing streamers with sink tip fly lines from our drift boats to get at the nicer sized fish in the river. All of our runs are now accessible by boat and these trips are a great way to escape the angling pressure and take in some scenery while fishing areas that are hard to access by anglers on foot.
