EAST WALKER RIVER
The East is still running at 20 cfs for the time being, the fishing down there has been pretty good lately, lots of nice fish being caught. We’ve even talked to a few anglers who are very new to fly fishing and have had good 8 to 10 fish days this past week! Most of the action is with nymphs but there has been some decent fish caught with streamers lately as well. There’s no real need to get down there early in the morning since it’s still been fairly cold, the best action this time of the year is from around 8 or 9 am to 3 or 4 pm. Some patterns to try include: flashback emerger, micro mayfly, san juan worm, zebra midge, squirmy wormy, radiation baetis, darth baetis, micro stones, dead drift crayfish and zuddlers.
There was some good action on the ranch this week with reports of up to 8 or 10 fish per half day. As with the California side it’s been mostly nymphing with small midge and stonefly patterns.
Too Cold to fish the pond this time of the year!

We haven’t heard anything from the West lately, typically it’s pretty tough this time of the year but when the weather starts to warm up again things should pick up up there.

We got a good dusting of snow yesterday and last night and there’s several storms that are supposed to be coming through over the coming week or so. This will certainly help our water situation so we’re hoping for a bunch more!
