Each week or so I'll show you something new or novel that I think you should check out that you may not have seen while in the shop. |

I know you've seen this one before but I promise you what there is to learn from this DVD watching real takes, takes on artificial's, and more importantly drive-by's and refusals will increase your knowledge of what's really going on down there and let you catch more fish. Here is the deal . . . no matter how good it is, you are still getting three refusals for every one take and how many drive-by's did you have the last time out? Imagine if you could make the take/refusal ration increase to 50/50 and 80% of drive-by's become "fish on". There is no narration on this DVD . . . it is up to up to you to watch and figure out what it takes to make that happen but it isn't rocket science. Or, if you are lazy, come to the Crowley University later this summer in OC and we'll tell you everything we have learned and a bunch more in 2000+ days on the lake. (see below) The DVD has four hours of raw video condensed down to an hour and 40 minutes with literally hundreds of fish cruising by as well as real midges swimming up and getting nailed, but of course the stuff you Crowley addicts yearn for, and can learn from, are the takes, refusals and drive-by's of artificial flies. The first part of the video shows nothing but those excerpts and many in slow motion and stop action. If nothing else, it makes for a great screen saver, watching hours of big Crowley fish swim right across your monitor. How will you contain yourself? You can order immediately by calling the store at (800) 637-6912. The cost is $17.95 (plus sales tax if in CA) and includes free shipping or you can pick one up in the shop next time up. Between this and the Crowley Cam, you'll get absolutely nothing done at work henceforth! -k

Crowley Lake University
The Crowley Cam is up and operating. Click here!
We will be offering a full-day "Crowley University" this year in southern California in late summer,
which will the most comprehensive and intensive course of its kind ever offered. Every thing that I've
learned in my more than 2000 days fishing and guiding the lake plus some special discussions by members
of the Trout Fly Stillwater Team on fishing the Stillwater Classic and the Double Haul in the Fall will be covered.
If there was a Ph.D on fishing Crowley Lake, this would be the Doctual Dissertationin a live, audio visual format.

'Turned out to be a fat Brown that fell prey to and "undisclosed" midge pattern. Notice no one in the background on shore or in the water. So where were they? |

Note that the flow shown for Hot Creek is the flow into Hot Creek from Mammoth Creek, which is in addition to the
normal flow from the springs that feed this primarily spring creek.
*For Crowley Lake and Upper Owens, take average of Mammoth and Bishop temperatures.
There is some great fishing to be had right now before the run-off gets started .
