Juneuary…. what a dismal month for precipitation. The Mammoth Pass snow pillow is indicating that we are hovering at 18% of normal for this time of year. And, to add insult to injury, we had record high temperatures in Bishop on Sunday, by 5º. Mammoth was 9º warmer that the previous record! However, in spite of the doom and gloom prophecies and reports,...

I’ve been fishing the Upper Owens a fair amount for no other reason than there are still some big bruisers swimming around in the river system and it’s fun to hook into some big rainbows for a change. AND, it’s only about 15 minutes from my house. I can sit down to the tying vice in the morning, slurping coffee, and experiment with new patterns or try out some...

June-uary….. we’re back to warm, comfortable temperatures. The afternoons on the Upper Owens are in the 50’s. The big freeze is a thing of the past. Most of the ice has melted or receded making for great conditions. Fishing has been fabulous with huge, porkulent rainbows taking flies if presented down, into the depths.

Boy, what a difference a couple of days makes. Just a few days ago the Upper Owens was “warm and balmy,” with temperatures in the upper 30’s. Fishing has been fabulous with huge, porkulent rainbows taking flies if presented down, into the depths. Now, after a cold front moved through, the basin has plunged into a deep freeze. The Owens River is a slowly moving...

Wishing everyone out there a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Be safe in your travels.

The days are getting longer, ever so slowly. The fishing on the eastside is good, especially the Upper Owens. There are some porkers cruising through. Look for the deep pools with slow water and keep the faith, they’re in there. Start your casting near and work across...

Snow! We received more snow! It actually looks like winter outside! The Eastern Sierra will have a white Christmas. Halle-freakin’-lujah! Please keep it coming.

I spent Sunday and Mondaygetting blasted by the wind and waves at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. The fishing has been slow with super cold water temperatures but every once in a while a fish was pinned. There...

Incoming…. storm alert! We’re bracing for hurricane speed winds and with any luck, a few feet of snow. Living near a ski resort, especially after a few years of drought, it is exciting to watch these events unfold. After all, snow is white gold. With a good snow year, people flock to Mammoth Lakes to ski, snowboard, eat at the restaurants, stay at condos and...

The big news on this side of the mountains is that it snowed, finally. Hopefully, we will receive another days worth of precipitation before the front moves on to the east. Next week looks promising as well. Keep your fingers crossed for a wet winter.

Last week I put aside my trout gear and hastily packed for the Trinity River in search of some steelhead; chrome ghosts, silver bullets, metal heads, the fish of a thousand casts…. There’s a certain awe and reverence with steelhead. There’s nothing better than hooking into a salty, turbocharged rainbow on steroids. Nothing. It is mesmerizing watching your line...

On Saturday evening, there were a lot of trout celebrating the end of the fishing season. Gone are the crowds secretly sneaking fish to their coolers to “conceal” their fish limits, gone with their cigarette butts, empty beer cans, and gobs of fishing line that get thrown into the water or left along the shorelines, gone is my respect for the American...
