Cruising along right into the month of June now, with a major change in the weather. Run-off is going strong now and should pass fairly quickly with the minimal snowpack this year. High pressure set in and really bumped temperatures up for late spring. We saw lots of wind for the past month, and …

  Getting through the month of May has brought some warm and sunny weather with high pressure days, but also some minor cold fronts accompanied by wind and a little rain. The highest elevations in the sierra have received a dusting of snow. Most snowfall at this time of year does not stick around and …

  With warmer temperatures getting the fish actively feeding, the fishing switched gears from opening weekend slower bites to wide open at times. The high pressure mornings produced some fairly good sized midge hatches on Crowley Lake and the fish responded well. The lake has been the best game in town for fly fishing. Water …

After a week of warmer weather, the general trout season opener was greeted with high winds which left boats stranded and created dangerous situations for many boaters.

  The evenings are getting longer now and the fish are starting to switch over to spring mode as the weather has been very mild for this time of year. Some of the larger fish from the Upper Owens River are making their way back to Crowley Lake. While some spring spawners will soon begin …

  Another small snow storm has given us a little more snow on the Upper Owens River to still navigate around with the snowmobiles. It is starting to melt quickly and leaving mud puddles and soft ground behind. Most vehicles that have been driven to the river on the snow have had some type of …

  Wow! What a storm to finally hit the eastern sierra. Better late than never I guess. We will need a few more of these to bring our snow level up to normal though. The weather pattern is going to return to dry again, and hopefully we will get some more snow down the line. …

Some minor snow storms in the forecast for the coming days with the possibility of a light amount of snow coming with them. We dodged what was shaping up to be a major wind event in Long Valley where winds gusts on ridge tops were primed for 130 mph. Luckily, it never happened. Temperatures will …
