Song remains the same but some changes might be on the way as DWP has a crane up at Crowley to lower a work platform into the water. Lower Owens flows are 450 cfs - still fishable but not easy. Fishing is still fair to good, much tougher to wade in a lot of spots. Weather has cooled quite a bit with highs in the 80s. look for overall conditions to improve in the next week or two. Use Tricos/ Caddis early, then move to Baetis late morning. These will be your most productive patterns for the first half of the day. Try Caddis in the late afternoon into the evening along with Tricos. The Gorge above the Pleasant Reservoir is also a great spot with plenty of opportunities for wild Brown Trout 12-16. You will have to hike to reach this area. It is mostly pocket water and pools. Beware - rattlesnakes may be present. Carry plenty of water. It may be best to fish these areas very early as the hot weather is a big problem this time of year.
