East Walker River (CA) - Bridgeport, CA

The river is still running at 25 cfs these days and coming out of the dam at about 38 or 40 degrees. Daytime air temps have been mostly in the high 30's and 40's so it's been pretty comfortable fishing for this time of year. Fishing has been very good both nymphing and with small dries. The best time frame to be on the water lately has been from about 10am to 3pm or so. Most anglers are reporting anywhere from 5 to 25 fish (or sometimes more) during this time.

Some patterns to try include zebra midges, WD-40's, mercury midges, silver streak, flashback emerger, san juan worm, blue dun, BWO, para adams, rainbow warrior to name a few. The bad news is you're gonna want to keep most of these patterns pretty small, like size 18 and 20.

The Rosachi has been a little tough as the water seems to be quite a bit colder down there, mostly in the low 30's, probably best to stay upstream right now where the water is a bit warmer.
