With three more days left in the general fishing season, trout along the eastside are collectively breathing a sigh of relief. Now, if we can only have a “normal” winter, re-juice the streams, rivers, and reservoirs, all will be well. I fished Crowley Lake and the upper and lower Owens river systems over the long weekend. Everything was getting pounded by...

Lower Owens River

The river has been running steady at 85 cfs, not the optimum flow, but still healthy. The high mountains in the Sierra received about a foot of snow over the weekend and the morning temperatures have dropped considerably. Use some stealth when fishing. Halloween has passed so there’s no need to clomp around like Frankenstein in your wading...

The last days of autumn are upon us. So long October, THE best month of the year. With snow expected this coming weekend, this could be it for color in the trees, at least in the high country. Bishop is still looking great however. Great stands of yellow cottonwood, willow, cattails, and the amber waves of grasses. Fishing isn’t just about the trout, life on...

Mmmm….. October. THE best month of the year. If you enjoy Indian summer and the low angle light streaking across the Eastern Sierra, pack your bags and get here quick. The autumn glow in the cottonwoods, willow, and grasses is spectacular and the fishing ain’t too shabby either.

Lower Owens River

Happy October! The river has been running about 125 cfs,...

This week I am taking time off from guiding and heading north into the State of Jefferson. With some rain expected in the forecast, steelhead should be pushing into the Trinity River. I’m looking forward to some metal-mania.

Lower Owens River

Happy October! The river has been running about 175 cfs, which is perfect. It is easy wading and the river is...

The Backcountry

I went prospecting for some gold yesterday, as in golden trout. There were lots of great opportunities but only one grab (which I missed) and several follows. We left with our tails firmly tucked between our legs. We threw the kitchen sink at them but no lovin’. Note to self: avoid notoriously finicky fish during the full moon…..

The autumn...

Lower Owens River

Happy Autumn! After several weeks of raging waters on the lower Owens River, the Department of Water and Power has finally cut back the flows coming out of Pleasant Valley Reservoir. The river has been running between 200-225 cfs, depending on the whims of the DWP. The river is getting “grabby” again, the fishing is getting better by the...

First and foremost, my thoughts go out to friends in Baja reeling from hurricane Odile and to all those affected by the devastating fires in Northern California. Let’s be careful out there….

Lower Owens River

The flows have been holding steady at 350 cfs, which for a lot of rivers in the West, doesn’t seem like much water, but keep in mind the Owens River...

Phish Report, September Ten, Fish Tales….

Lower Owens River
This part of the river system outside of Bishop is crankin’! The flows have been holding steady at 350 cfs, which for a lot of rivers in the West, doesn’t seem like much water, but keep in mind the Owens River flows down a fairly narrow river channel. 350 cfs is rippin’ fast when it is squeezed between...
