The Owens is showing some signs of life recently after being downright lousy most of May and June. Been getting a few 6” to 10” mostly Brown’s each day with a couple 18” to 20” here and there with either a Beadhead Flashback Pheasant Tail nymph or Wooly Buggers and Caddis Fly dries fishing downstream style. We’re hoping for a good “Hopper Season” come August.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
