Water Conditions:GOOD
The water flows are dropping and the water is clearing up. The recent rain and snow showers has not affected the water in any way. Look for good weather this weekend.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches:GOOD
Fishing has been fair above the bridge, but some what better from the Crowley monument to the lake . Warmer days have been producing some exciting surface action with small Caddis and BWOs. When the runoff starts forget the dry action and use bright and flashy nymphs off the bottom.
Recommended Flies:
NYMPHS-
#16 Copper John in Green or Red, #12-14 San Juan Worm, #12-18 Flashback P.T. 's, #14-18 Hares Ear, #14-16 Prince Nymphs, #18-22 Olive WD40's, #16 Sparkle Pupa, #16-20 Soft Hackles, #12-16 Blood Midges.
DRY FLIES-
#10-18 Stimi's, #14-16 Tan Elk Hair Caddis , #16-20 Adams Parachutes , #14-20 Hemingway Caddis
STREAMERS-
#6-10 Woolly Buggers Brown and Black, #8-12 Zonkers
Guide's Hint: The Owens is now open between the Monument and Benton Crossing Bridge.
