Upper Owens River-updated

Good news is more catchable sized fish moving up river with the bumped up flows. Some bigs hit on opener below the monument (remember that upstream from this CDFW sign to the Benton Bridge remains closed to all until May 25th.) Some of the signs are wrong, know the regs! Water clarity is good; however you will find some annoying weed floating and screwing up nymph drifts and streamer presentations in the monument area. I like FB-PT's, and assassins in the #14-16 range. Broken back midges and crystal olive caddis #16-20 also good as lower bugs. Try a Loeberg with a light sinking tip along the cut banks. I hear some nice browns are up chomping on the smaller bows that migrated upstream.
