Ali fished with Hanzo and had a fun morning on rainbows!

Great friend and client Larry Souza had to go deep into his bag of trips to get some fish on the Upper Owens. Shown here tight to a nice rainbow. It’s been tough this spring on the UO with very few migratory fish moving up from Crowley.

Veteran Drifter Mitch Kelly got this awesome hen late in the day on a Drifters Crawler. High fives Mitch!

Bob Myers came out from CO. to see what these Crowley Steelhead pull like. He had him some fun.

Ramon and Marconi Mendoza had a fun day with Doug Dolan. This was the big one for the boys.

I got a BIG dose of humble pie the other day. I was able to drive in during the morning with my rig; but the ground “liquefied” afternoon, and had to dig out along with a tow from Doug R. It is a total mess up here, be careful!

Eric Smith and I hit the UO right after the storm. Eric hit this spawned out hen on attractor patterns.
