Owens River - Middle - CA

Will Koh and his long time friend Mike Gabriel did great for their first drift trip on the MO. The boys had to deal with some stiff winds at times; but managed to get many nice rainbows and browns on streamers.

Scott Linkletter got big fish honors with this amazing rainbow that crushed a Spruce-A-Bu streamer. The sections downstream from Five Bridges Road have not been impacted by the horrible fire that scorched the wild trout section down to Five Bridges Crossing.

First time fly fisher Jackie Sarnecky showing off one of her nicer browns she “tip toed” into (inside joke) Fun day Jackie, thanks!

Garry Creel (cool name) did well on his first float with me. Hot fly was the #16 Punk Perch.

Veteran Drifter, & “Top Gun” vet Joe Sarnecky, treated his daughter Jackie to their first float together. Joe punished the fish on a near perfect day of drifting. Thanks buddy, good job.

Scott Randall started his day with a few of these beautiful planted rainbows. Stocking efforts are much improved on the MO this year and it is showing in the fish counts. Doug Rodricks was his guide.

Harold Green and Mike Brooks have been spanking the fish on drift trips for nearly two decades with me. Fun times my friends, thanks again.

Veteran Drifters Jake Brower, and Daryl Anthony ripped a bunch of lips on their two days of drift boat fly fishing. The “beef” shows one of several bigs they caught and released on Drifters Punk Perch streamers. “Heavy D” taming a tail walking bow on a pool they punished.
