I talked with my friend Scott this week he said he fished Upper Owens two days last week from Benton Crossing upstream about two miles using a Yellow Spot nymph and an Olive Wooly Bugger getting zilch. Snow conditions were ok since it receded some back from the banks and packed down by other anglers. We’ll see what this week’s storms bring and how much snow falls out there and how it affects the access. In years past there has been a good big Rainbow run up from Crowley starting in late February and lasting through March. I’ll be out there if it’s accessible starting sometime next week.



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.
