We haven't had much action on the river this past week though I did talk to one angler who was fishing some barbless Rapalas and did pretty well on the "Miracle Mile" section, he apparently got into several fish in the high teens as well as some smaller ones. This would lead me to believe that stripping some streamers might be productive down there right now, maybe some double bunnies, conehead zuddlers or sculpin patterns. Also I wouldn't discount the traditional small midge patterns, flashback emergers, copper johns, wd-40's and the like. We're having a winter storm right now, yesterday it rained for a while and this morning there was an inch of snow on the ground here in town, it's still snowing and supposed to through tomorrow! The upper East Walker was almost overflowing for most of the day yesterday which surely put a ton of water in the Reservoir, look forward to the potential of some increased flows on the EW starting in March if we keep getting wet weather! This would help out the fishing a great deal!
