Thanks for checking out the video! This trip was truly humbling for me. As a beginner fly fisherman, I never really thought about heading out to the river in the middle of winter, but after looking into it… it turns out the Owens River is a popular winter fishery! After some research and reaching out to local fly shops I decided to head up the 395 to try my luck and oh man… I got WORKED. I still had a blast though and being out there in one of my favorite places truly is a blessing. Hopefully next time I can bring someone who fishing out there more often for some tips in the winter!

Wow, those browns were impressive. I go up there often to fish the Owens and had no idea about Big Pine Canal. Thanks for posting! Upper O is very difficult, I've found the smaller the fly the better and best to fish very close to the bottom for the big bows & cutties. Love the Bible verse too, thanks again.

Nice video i learned to fly fish on the same river 25 years ago, i used to love going there. You should go to the Green River Utah out of Dutch John Utah, worth the drive huge rainbows and browns.

you should try streamer fishing this time of year. Great fish from the canal!

After I got back I saw some videos recomending streamer fishing as well. Going to have to try that out next time I head up. Thanks for the tips!

On the bottom is where the fish are most of the time.

@Fishersofmen58 4 ай бұрын

Gotcha, so if im ticking the bottom with my flies should I slighty move my indicator down to get them just off the bottom?

@djregius 4 ай бұрын

nope. bouncing off the bottom is fine. @@Fishersofmen58

It's a balancing act. But remember this, trout rarely go down to get a bug but they will go up.

I really appreciate the criticism! To be honest when I was editing the video I was thinking to myself that this section was very long. I ended up keeping it in, but I’ll be sure to keep this in mind for the future!
