Starting at the dam below Pleasant Valley Reservoir, the Lower Owens river takes it's course and meanders south through the Owens Valley, ultimately ending at Owens Lake south of Lone Pine. The Lower Owens river is a Blue Ribbon stream, providing exceptional habitat and high fish density. Some of the best angling opportunities in the region are found here with a healthy population of brown and rainbow trout. The Wild Trout Section below Pleasant Valley Reservoir has some of the most fish per mile of any stream in the state, with a strong population of self-sustaining, wild fish. The drift boat section, or as we like to call it, the drive & fish section, starts just outside the town of Bishop at Hwy 6 and runs south 20 miles, as the crow flies, to Big Pine. Here, you'll find a mix of wild and stocked fish. While the drive & fish section hosts a healthy population of wild trout, it's the bigger stocked models that draw us here. It's not uncommon to tussle with 18-20" fish here. Whether you're into walk & wade or drive & fish, The Lower Owens river provides endless opportunities around every bend!
