Breaking news! There has been a solid push of fish moving up from Crowley Lake on this moon. Numbers of rainbows, & browns have increased recently. The “monument section”, & all waters downstream from the Benton Bridge are now closed. You can fish year around above the Benton Bridge with special angling restrictions. The sections below Hot Creeks inlets have significant aquatic weed that makes nymphing difficult. The fish are spread out, & spooky. Make your stream side approaches quietly, & on their tails. Keeping a low profile is necessary to avoid spooking them. Most of the browns are lying under the cut banks during higher sun periods. Flows have dropped considerably; with current levels being 50cfs. Attractor patterns, & streamers are good calls for migratory trout. Drifters Crawlers, crystal eggs, San Juan Worms, crystal leeches, & Assassins are my go to nymphs below an Under-Cator.
The section upstream from the Benton Bridge is open year around with special regulations. Seasonal closures, and angling restrictions apply downstream from the bridge, check regulations before fishing in this section.
