Upper Owens & McGee Creek requires a stealth approach for the flyfisherman

The tributaries flowing into Crowley (Upper Owens & McGee Creek) are all holding rainbows and some cuts. Conditions are very good and the run-off has not blown out these areas which are just now peaking in numbers of migrating trout.

These fish are actively spawning so please take care not to disturb the redds that are obvious at the base of the deeper pools and in all the gravel sections.

FLY CHOICES
San Juan worms, egg patterns, FB Pt's, crystal midges, all seem to work.

The key is to not spook the fish prior to your initial casts. Easier said than done I must admit. The average fish is noticeably smaller this year, but there are some 20 inch models holding in the prime runs.
