Flowing around 200cfs the Lower Owens River continues to be the best choice for some of the most consistent, wild brown trout fishing around(some nice Bows too).  Early and late Fly Anglers will be able to find Dry Fly action visually seeing Trout  eating mayflies and caddis.  Throughout the day nymphing dark corners of the Lower Owens whilst stand wader-less in the cool water is an amazing way to spend part of the hot Bishop summer days.  Think late and early to maximize success.  Fish all sorts of Caddis Worms,  mostly in greens.  #14-18  Mayfly Bubbleback & Cased Emergers #16-20, and of course well Ribbed Midge Emerger patterns #18-20.
