Summer 2008 Fly Fish'n Conditions

It has been another great summer here. Numbers are excellent downstream of the Benton Bridge but not many large fish showing yet. Nymphing with flashback PT's #16-20, tiger and olive zebra midges #16-20. Dry dropper rigs in the shorter water. A Stimulator #12-16, Fat Alberts #6-8, foam hoppers #10 for the upper. Streamers are also good here along the deep undercut banks. Loebergs, Spruce-A-Bu's #8-10 used with a light sink tip. Above the Benton Bridge very good action with caddis and hoppers in the afternoons. Smaller fish but very eager on the days you don't get blown out.

More pretty Fly Fish'N gals here high stick nymphing and catching some pretty rainbows along the Upper Owens. What self respecting trout wouldn't want to hit these pretty gals flies? Way to go Chelsea and Jennifer!
