East Walker Fish Report 05-14-07

East Walker River (CA) - Bridgeport, CA


5-14-2007

Flows are just a tad over 110 cfs.?? Pinch me please, I am dreaming.?? Have you ever witnessed the "sound" of a fly line slicing upstream at warp speed after a grab here??? There is nothing quite like it. It reminds me of the sound 150psi makes as it rushes out of an air compressor relief valve after opening! ????The trout of the EW are freaks -I am totally convinced.?? Further more I am prone to believe they are taking steroids in addition to the plethora of aquatic bugs.?? Flashback Pt's, WD-40's and my go to fly here?Ķ the ever consistent Drifters crystal copper tiger midge #16-20.?? Veteran Drifters client "Steve-O" Newman, from Oxnard, CA will attest, many times over.?? At this release rate the fish will "pod" up in the prime holes.?? It is good people, if you are not getting grabs you need to move or re-think your rig.
