Water Conditions:  Fair

Flows are 404 cfs as of 8/17

The river below PVR is still off-color, not sure if it's algae or silt because the reservoir is very low. There is Gorge access to the middle and upper power plants as well as the reservoir. Pleasant Valley Dam Road is now open, Chalk Bluff Road is closed below the  campground. There's virtually no access between the cement plant and PVR campground. LADWP is releasing water out onto the Owens Valley floor which in the future will be very beneficial but for right now be very careful where you drive.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Poor-????

The hatches have been weak, the water has been murky and the flows are up and down but other than that??? There might be something going on and I'll keep looking but for now .....
