The hatch is so big on the Lower Owens you'll have a tough time knowing where your fly is

Water Conditions: Excellent flows are holding steady at 256 cfs as of 2/3. Crowley is jugged so little chance of it going down in near future. Chalk Bluff Road seems better than down lower.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Stupid hatches, like don't blink or you'll have to pick up and cast again to tell which one of those little dots is yours. Fish merrily sipping away in slower water. Only caveat is that you will have to play around a little to find a fly that stands out. Subsurface produces with midges and baetis nymphs all day like to 4pm.
