Owens River - CA

This aerial shot shows the Chalk Bluff Road that parallels the Owens River near the Wild Trout section. The fire is contained; but still smoldering as of 2/20/18. Road leading into PVR Campground and Five Bridges are closed. This devastating fire totally destroyed the Owens River from the Campground to Five Bridges Crossing. It did not impact sections we primarily drift, and so far the water is not showing signs of turbidity from ash, or silt in our traditional runs.

Drifters client Chris Iseley scored a couple beautiful Crowley Steelhead fishing solo recently. Time for you to leave the temple grasshopper!

Yuriy Deahuntsoy scored big time with his first on the fly. Doug Dolan put him on it.

Russ Sutter battled a rare snow storm and got another chunky Crowley Steelhead.

Nate Cuomo took advantage of the one fish he came tight to on his trip. This beefy Hen came late in the afternoon. Pressure has been very heavy recently on the Upper Owens. Tom Loe was the guide.
