Fly Fishing Report

Are you tired of spending 2 dollars a pop on Fly's? Well I have found a site that offers fly's starting at .45 cents a pop and there are also some great deals for .24 cents. Most of the fly's are all generic and attractor patterns but if you want to stock up on your Adams and stimulators for the summer check it out. They have a pretty large variety of nymph patterns and streamers also. Premium fishing flies from 45 cents each.

Lower Owens Gorge This is always the place to go to get away from the crowds. This fishing here has really been good and there are some great BWO hatches coming off mid day and a decent caddis hatch coming off later in the afternoon. Be careful of the stinging neddles though as they are starting to pop up every where along the creek. Fishing here is always pretty simple. Fish a dry dropper combo. I would fish a stimulator as your dry to start off with a size 18 or 20 midge as your dropper. You can fish all sorts of different attractor type dry's. When you see the BWO's come off switch over to one of those. Most of your fish are going to be in the 8 to 12 inch range with bigger fish being around 14 to 16 inches.
