Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Flows down below 400 for the first time in a while. Highs in the upper 80's expected in Bishop this week so much for fall weather! Keep a watchful eye for ticks and tuck your pants into your socks. Fishing is best in the early morning before it really starts getting hot.
