Water conditions: Water Temps: Mid 60's

Flow: 45 CFS. This is a permanent flow required to be maintained by LADWP The air temps will be in the 90's. In the morning the temps will be in the 40's to 50's. I would fish from 6:30 AM to 10 AM in the morning. Fish from 5:00 to dark in the evening. Avoid anytime in between. The over growth around the river is bad with nettles and weeds.
