to Five Bridges Road the river is managed as a wild trout stream . There are special regulations in this section of the river . Fly fishers flock to the catch and release section , from the walking bridge at the bottom of Pleasant Valley Reservoir to Five Bridges Road . The lower Owens River in the wild trout section offers great winter fly fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout . The river flows mandate the fishing in this section of the lower Owens River . In the summer time DWP flows water through the river channel on its way to residents in Los Angeles . These flows average 400 to 600 CFS depending on the winter ’ s snow pack . Flows over 300 CFS are too high to safely wade the river . There are good hatches of little yellow stones and caddis for fly fishers to imitate if the flows are safe to fish . Spin fishers with lures ply the waters of the catch and release section first thing in the morning and last thing at night . By early February consistent hatches allow fly fishers the opportunity to catch wild brown trout and rainbow trout through April . While greatly outnumbered by fly fishers there are spin fishers successfully throwing lures , and plastics to the wild trout . The lower Owens River from Five Bridges to Collins Road is open to anglers fishing bait , lures or flies . This section of the river is planted with trout in the winter months offering anglers an opportunity to catch trout . Winter time is the best time to be fishing this section of the river .

Summer high temperatures keeps most trout anglers off the river except for first thing in the morning and last thing at night . Bishop Creek Canal offers yearround fishing opportunities .
