It is getting tougher as the flows continue to go up here but if you can get into a slower section of the river you will find eager fish willing to hit dry dropper combos.?? Larger patterns seem to work better here I have found and I would not use smaller than #16 nymphs or dries.?? You can also get into some good numbers around the campground areas scattered along HWY 395 and the road into the Sonora Pass by casting streamers with a medium sinking tip line.?? Tie on a Loeberg or Punk Perch in one of the larger pools in these areas and you will be surprised at how aggressive the fish will smack these streamers.

We are going to be introducing some great new fly patterns that will be sure to get you into fish this summer.?? Keep on the look out for my killer callibaetis, and some new and improved perch patterns.?? Theses flies will only be available at the following great fly shops and stores (don't be fooled by any of the imitations out there!): Crowley Lake Fish Camp at Lake Crowley, Crowley Lake General Store in Crowley, ??Kittredge Sports in Mammoth Lakes, Malibu Fish'n Tackle in Thousand Oaks, Stroud's Tackle in San Diego, The Fishermen's Spot in Van Nuys, Bob Marriott's in Fullerton, Buz's Fly Shop Too in Bakersfield.
