At Trout Water Reports we strive to give you the most detailed and up to date fishing reports. |
We cover all of the Eastern Sierra Lakes and Streams with Detailed reports updated weekly. |
| Our Detailed reports are based around our Mammoth lakes Fly fishing experience. Dave Leak and Jason Christian is in charge of our Eastern Sierra Fishing Reports. Jason is at the rivers daily such as Upper Owens River, Lower Owens River, Hot Creek and the East walker river. Also fishing our lakes around Mammoth Lakes, such as Crowley Lake and the Mammoth Lakes Basin doing many Guided Float Tube Trips. |
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 Working on new reports and revamping the website this week. If you have any questions send me an email at jasonfritz@troutwaterreports.com. Thank you and check back soon for the new updates.

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. |
