Website
Water Conditions: Great the flows are at 110cfs as of 5/25.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent! The flows have been pretty consistant the past two weeks, between 100 and 120cfs. The constant flows are usually pretty good for the fishing as fish get in a routine and tend to hold in the same places. The water is still fairly clear compared to what it usually is. Same fare, Midges and Caddis with a mayfly here and there. Not hearing much in the way of streamer activity.
RECOMMENDED FLIES:
DRIES: Elk Hair Caddis #18, Grey or Olive Parachute Caddis #18, Parachute Adams #18-20, Extended Body BWO #18-20, Goddard Caddis #18
NYMPHS: Lafontaine's Sparkle Pupa #18-20, Nori's Caddis Pupa Green #18, Fox's Caddis Poopah Green #18, Black Flashy WD-40 #20, Miracle Nymph #18-20, Black WD-40 #20, Zebra Midge Black or Copper #20-22, BH Flashback Pheasant Tail #16-18, Red Copper John #20, Pheasant Tail #18-22
STREAMERS: Perfection Perch #10, Punk Perch #10, Black Wooly Bugger #8, Leeches
Guides Hint: Flows are going to vary depending on how much the ranchers need in Nevada. They could care less about the fish or the fisherman.

for Monday, May 28th, 2012
Mammoth Lakes : All the lakes in the Mammoth Basin are now fishable
Hot Creek: On Hot Creek use Midges early & caddis from mid-morning on
Crowley Lake: Crowley is fishing great, nymphs and streamers are the ticket
Owens River: The water has cleared on the Upper Owens but the fishing is just fair
Owens River: The flows are perfect in the Gorge and the fishing is good
Owens River: Water Skiing would be better than fishing on the Lower Owens as the flows are too high
Bridgeport Reservoir: Fishing is great at Bridgeport, but the fish are spread out until the weeds come
