Lake Mary: Streamers are working best at Lake Mary and Lake George

Crowley Lake: Crowley is OK but avoid the algae and fishing is better
Owens River: The flows are much better on the Uper Owens and the fishing is improving
Owens River: The flows are better but the Lower Owens is still a little cloudy so the fishing is just good
Bridgeport Reservoir: Focus on the Bridgeport's Inlets and Outlets for best results

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
