for Monday, May 28th, 2012
Mammoth Lakes : All the lakes in the Mammoth Basin are now fishable
Hot Creek: On Hot Creek use Midges early & caddis from mid-morning on
Crowley Lake: Crowley is fishing great, nymphs and streamers are the ticket
Owens River: The flows are perfect in the Gorge and the fishing is good
Owens River: Water Skiing would be better than fishing on the Lower Owens as the flows are too high
Bridgeport Reservoir: Fishing is great at Bridgeport, but the fish are spread out until the weeds come
East Walker River (CA): Fishing is still good on the East Walker as the flows have been consistent
