for Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

Mammoth Lakes : The fish are a little more active in the Mammoth Lakes area
Hot Creek: Match the hatch is very true when fishing Hot Creek at this time of year
San Joaquin River: The fish are getting more selective on the San Joaquin, caddis & mayfly imitiations work best
Crowley Lake: The fish in Crowley are ON the perch fry
Owens River: Nymphing with attractor imitations is the way to go on the Upper Owens
Owens River: Not much has changed at the Owens River Gorge since last week
Rock Creek - Section 1: The recent rains have cooled the water at Rock Creek, making for better fishing
Rush Creek: Good but tough technical fishing below Hwy 395
Owens River: The flows on the Lower Owens are too high for good fishing at this time
Bridgeport Reservoir: Fish Bridgeport Reservoir outside the weed lines where the cold water is
East Walker River: Fishing on the East Walker is good until 10:00 AM, after that the water is too warm
