The Lower Owens are we fish is from Highway 6 down to Warm Springs Rd in Bishop. This area is loaded with wild browns and is planted with rainbows from Hot Creek hatchery, Bishop Chamber of Commerce, Adopt-A-Creek, and Tim Alpers. As you head south of here, you still find trout, but bass become a bit more prevalent. Here are a couple of big ones from previous years...
