Exciting news! The Spring halfpipe is now open in Saddle Bowl (off Face Lift Express). Look for jibs and jumps up there too.

Hot Creek
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Very warm weather predicted this weekend runoff could become a factor? Flows have come up. The fishing on Hot Creek has been great. Look for the first good caddis hatch of the spring to start any time, along with a Baetis hatch ocurring midday. Nymphing has produced solid action. Water is still quite low and the fish are eager to take a well-presented fly.
Nymphing Patterns: Surface emergers, olive/brown scuds, Caddis emerger patterns. San Juan Worms, Pt's. Brassie's Standard pattern to start with. 18-22s
Dry Fly Patterns: Bwo's,Schroeder's parachute caddis, Brook's Hot Creek caddis, Headlight Caddis, Low profile caddis, Brooks Baetis sprouts, size 18-22s
Attractor Patterns: Small stimulators orange/yellow 18's
Upper Owens
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: The Upper Owens River has been fishing well. No runoff yet, water level is low & clear this should change by the end of the weekend, There is some midday Mayfly/Caddis surface action if the wind will cooperate. The spawning numbers may have peaked last week. There are still plenty of Rainbows moving through on their way to spawn. If you are wading across beware that the spawning area's are in the shallows riffle this is were they lay their eggs. Look for the action to continue until the runoff starts.
The Upper Owens River is under special regulations. It is best to look at your CADFG regulation booklet for current regulations
Nymphing Patterns: Glow Bugs orange, yellow, pink,Prince Nymphs, Bead Pheasent Tails, Hares Ears, San Juan worms, Are all good flies to start with.
Dry Fly Patterns: Adams, Orange Stimulators,Bwos, Baetis,caddis patterns in size 16-20s
Streamer: Egg sucking leech, Black or Olive Wolly Buggers, Muddler Minnows you will need some weight to get them down no dip and strip necessary. Size 8.
Crowley Tributaries
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: McGee, Hilton, and Crooked all holding spawning Rainbows try to avoid wading as the fish have laid their eggs in the shallow riffles and hold future genations of wild trout. Look for flows to increase as this weeks weather will trigger some run off,
Nymphing Patterns: Glow bugs, Hares ears, Soft Hackles,PT's, Prince Nymphs. Micro Mayflies lighten Bugs and Midges.
Dry Fly Patterns: Caddis and Mayflies patterns will take fish midday. Try a orange stimulator! size 18.
Streamer: Larger streamers 6-8s.
Lower Owens
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Flows still up to 550 cfs which make for difficult wading. If you plan to fish look for the back eddies to hold the fish. Caddis in the evenings with midday Beatis action you will need some weight to get your nymphs down. My recommendation is to fish somewhere else.
Nymphing Patterns: Try nymphing in the mornings with WD-40s and Brassies, then go to Bead Head Pheasant Tails, Olive Surface Emergers, Barr's wet emergers or RS Emergers. Sizes 18-20s 18-22s.
Dry Fly Patterns: Small midge patterns, bwos Beatis and caddis pattern 18-20s.
Attractor Patterns: Small Stimulator, Trudes, Wulffs.
East Walker
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Fishing will continue to pickup as the weather warms up. Look for the flows to increase as runoff into the reservoir ramps up. A good Mayfly hatch late morning into early afternoon. Best conditions are when the flow are above 125 cfs so fish can spead out.
Nymphing Patterns: Pheasant Tails, Olive Surface Emergers, Brassies, Red Copper Johns, Bead Head Black and Olive WD-40s, Disco Midges, Barr's Wet Emergers, Zebra Midges, Olive & Natural Birds Nests, Prince Nymphs, and Green Nori's Caddis. San Juan Worm (red) size 14-16.
Dry Fly Patterns: BWO, PMDs, Hemingway Caddis, EC Caddis, Schroeder's Para Caddis and Adams in sizes 16-18, Orange and Yellow stimulators sizes 14-16.
Streamer: Try Muddler Minnows, Wool Head Sculpins, Bunny Leech's, Woolly Buggers and Dave's Chubs. Use size 6s and see what happens.
Crowley Lake
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Lake is on a slow draw down to make room for what runnoff we have. Boater and tubers, The weather looks like its going to YES finally cooperate with above normal temps could be near 80 by the weekend. Fishing as been only fair to good due to sub par weather with a lot of winds the last 10 days but looks like a better pattern setting up. Fish are holding in 12-16 ft of water, Eastside of McGee bay up to Sandy Point, Leighton Springs, McGee Bay proper all have been producing fish, Best time seems to be from 10-2pm Crowds have been moderate on the weekends, Boat inspection going smooth. Fish have been mixed with most of the fish caught on the midge running 12-16" with some over 16" Water Temps midday 55 degrees this should increase over the course of next week. I also landed a few Perch of nice size. Look for conditions to improve with more bug action and the fish becoming aggressive as the warm continues to warm up. In the evening if it glasses off you my try some action on the dry fly.
Use common sense when driving on the backside of the lake, as there are areas where the ground is very soft, and a tow truck will be costly.
Nymphing Patterns: Black or Gray Midges with copper or red and silver wire have been the best, size 16-18s. Callibaetis Nymphs size 16. Brown and Olive leechs getting some good strikes!!
Streamer: Olive leeches and Wolly Buggers, Damsel fly Nymphs.
Mammoth Lakes Basin
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Upper lakes will start to break up with the warmer weather. Twin lakes should have some good opportunities as it was stocked just before the opener with 375 lbs. of Alper's Trout. The water Temp remain cold so pulling streamer slow in the deep holes is your best bet The upper lakes Mary, and Lake George are still covered in Ice. Use extreme caution as the ice can be unstable or rotten. A dunk or fall this time of year may be life threatening.
Use streamer patterns in the olives,browns tend to be the best producer. a local favorite is the Doc's Twin Lake Special a dropper fly behind the streamer can work well. Beadhead Prince or PT and Hares Ear all can help your odds.
Nymphing Patterns: PTs Nymphs, Beadhead Hares Ears, Zebra Midges, sizes 16-20s
Dry Fly Patterns: Adult midges in the evenings when it glasses off or if it glasses off. size 16-20 patterns
Streamer: Your favorite Black or olive Wolly Buggers. Size 10-12s
Bridgeport Reservoir
Last Updated May 15, 2008 by Harry Blackburn: Best fishing on the south end of the lake Rainbow point and near the private boat ramp in 14' ft of water large blood midges have produced some nice fish. Mid morning. Fish are spread throughout the area, look for some large rising fish taking adult midges on the surface.
Nymphing Patterns: Red, Brown,Black/copper wire, midge patterns are working the best. around the 10-14 ft depth.
Dry Fly Patterns: Adult Midge Some Large(red) ones and Calibaetis Patterns to rising fish.
Attractor Patterns:
Streamer: Large brown or Black leech patterns or hornbergs with a Hares Ear dropper.
