Finally some good flow rates!! The Lower Owens is sweeter than before as flows have stabilized at a perfect and clear 200cfs. All sizes of Trout are being caught and released.  Dry Fly action is definitely happening in various pools and slow foam lines.  Mostly mayflies around size #18-20 are noted and being fished.  Nymphs around this size in emerging patterns and Soft Hackles are also taking fish under the surface.  Look to catch fish here all day long if you can adapt to what’s happening.. *
