Upper Owens River, Crowley Tributaries Hilton, McGee, Convict: Fair-Good
Good reports from the monument to the lake.?? It remains slow in the year round sections and has not changed much since the early opening in March.?? I like a San Juan worm and an olive zebra #18 in the deep pools this time of year in the section below the monument.?? Streamers are a good choice if there is not significant weed snagging up on your Spruce-a-Bu or Loeberg.?? Have a medium rate sink tip available for fishing the streamer of your choice here.?? Please make sure you do not fish upstream of the monument to the Benton Crossing Bridge.?? This section remains closed to ALL fishing until the Saturday before Memorial Day.

The other tribs are not nearly as productive or concentrated with spring spawn rainbows as they were last season. This is perhaps attributed to the low water flows and brutal cold we had early this spring.?? You will still find some large fish hanging near the inlets but I suggest you spend more time fishing the Upper Owens mouth for numbers.
