for Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

Mammoth Lakes : The fish are more active in the Mammoth Lakes area because of warming water
Hot Creek: Dry Flies are the ticket on Hot Creek right now, Tricos in the AM & Caddis in the PM
San Joaquin River: Because of the flows, there might not be much fishable water on the San Joaquin much longer
Crowley Lake: Algae is definitely a problem on Lake Crowley
Owens River: Flows and weather are perfect for wet wading on the Upper Owens, watch out for the mud snails
Owens River: There is still good fishing at the Owens River Gorge
Rock Creek - Section 1: The fishing could hardly be better at Rock Creek
Owens River: With the flows this high on the Lower Owens, it is probably better to fish elsewhere
Bridgeport Reservoir: Weeds are becoming a problem on Bridgeport Reservoir
East Walker River (CA): Fishing on the East Walker is good to excellent, but the hatches are inconsistent
