Fly fishing here is hit and miss, as it has been since early June. High daytime temperatures into the mid-90s and a decrease in the flow from about 120 CFS in June to about 60 CFS now (LADWP varies the amount of water they send from Grant Lake and other sources through a tunnel system that terminates at East Portal on the Owens), resulting in very clear and warmer water, making it difficult to get what few fish are there to grab a dry fly, nymph, or streamer. We'll be fishing other locations until, if and when, that flow increases, or until later in August or September when things cool down.
Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
