for Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Lake George: Lake Mary & Lake George are finally defrosting and are fishable
Hot Creek: Despite the higher flows fishing is excellent on Hot Creek
San Joaquin River: Road is open to the San Joaquin, but it's not quite fishable yet.
Crowley Lake: The fish are still moving around at Lake Crowley so you have to search them out
Owens River: The Upper Owens flows are making the fishing tough, use nymphs and get them down where the fish are
