Not being a computer wiz, I hope this will reach all who might be interested.
First, I would like to thank all of you who responded when I requested some help with fly patterns for the Owens. Believe me, we not only tried most of what you suggested, but $40 to $50/person worth of flies purchased at the recommendation of the Troutfitter in Mammoth. Our summation of the results was average at best, 3-5 fish/person/day, nothing over 12", may have seen 3 that were 15" or better.
The cabin was furnished to the hilt, sheets, linens, towels, complete cooking needs, propane BBQ, all one could ask for, very comfortable. This was the real positive.
The property is located on the lower section of the Upper Owens, terminating at the Los Angeles property line. Part of the old Arcularius Ranch, still owned by Howard Arcularius. There is approximately 2 1/2 miles of river access, typical Owens River terrain. I considered it very difficult fishing for somone of my ability, even my pals who are much more experienced agreed, especially with the lack of fish. We all came to the same conclusion after literally belly-crawling to some of the holes that the fish that used to be so plentiful in this stretch were not there. It really appeared to us that the river has been overfished.
The cost per day is $225.00 plus a $27.00 room tax for four people or less.
