HOT CREEK—Storms last week have limited access to Hot Creek, so check with tackle shops before heading out. Look for browns to begin moving into the creek to spawn and avoid wading in the river which can destroy nesting redds.  Micro midges and standard egg patterns a good bet and watch for the afternoon Trico and Blue-wing Olive hatch.  

UPPER OWENS, PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIR—Roads into the Upper Owens fishing areas are impassable due to snow or mud.  Anglers must hike or use snowmobiles. The focus now will be on larger rainbows scattered in the river from Crowley Lake. Fish are scattered and holding in the bends and deeper pools. Egg patterns, San Juan worms and Pheasant tails a good beet. Mornings are chilly. A few browns showing up at Pleasant Valley Reservoir near the Power Plant and some larger rainbows being caught near the dam in deeper water. Bishop Chamber of Commerce sponsoring Blake Jones Trout Derby at Pleasant Valley on March 22.
