The Lower Owens River in Bishop is remaining steady with flows that have stabilized around 91 cfs. These fish are now holding in shallower water along the sand to gravel transitions as well as the deeper pools. There have been some solid BWO hatches in the afternoons and the bite window for dry fly fishing can last 30 mins some days and 1.5 hours the next. Smaller streamer patterns like our #16 Punk Perch Dark and Light have been great flies prior to and during this hatch. Around those times in the mornings and evenings an assortment of Loebergs, #14 Agent Orange, and Spruce-a-Bu Dark and Light have been doing the trick.
