Water Conditions: The flows are at 175 cfs as of 8/1.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Lower Owens fishing is good right now but the water is a little green coming out of the dam. It is clear further down river. With the heat wave the majority of the hatches are happening during the morning and evening times. You will have the most success nymphing.
