East Walker River Fishing Report

The river is running at 64 cfs today, it's fluctuated several times this past week but hasn't hit the 100 mark yet. The fishing is fairly tough but most anglers are reporting at least getting into a couple fish per half day, and many of them seem to be in the 16 to 20 inch class. It seems that being in stealth mode is very important right now as the fish are tending to be very spooky right now. We have a lot of eagles and several ospreys that are hanging out in the area and I think this has a tendency to make those fish wary of predators. For some reason we still haven't heard much about streamers even though typically this is a great time of year for them, if you want to give streamers a try we would recommend dead drifting them under an indicator and going with patterns like a zuddler, moal leech, jj special, dead drift crayfish. Most of the successful anglers are getting fish either nymphing or fishing dry/dropper rigs. Patterns to consider include: top secret midge, copper john, san juan worm, zebra midge, rainbow warrior, silver streak, micro mayfly, chubby chernobyl, madam x, henrys fork stone, chernobyl ant.
