The water level is low & the fishing pressure is high making fushing tough on the East Walker

East Walker River (CA) - Bridgeport, CA

The River is running at 68 cfs today and has been there for about 4 days now. It's been a little hit and miss down there but the anglers who are willing to work it and don't give up are doing ok. With the water this low and the traffic fairly heavy it makes for a little bit tougher of a time down there. Some of the anglers that are having success are using fox's poopah, buckskin caddis, flashback emergers, copper johns, san juan worms, dry/dropper rigs with chubby chernobyl, rubber leg stimulator and madam x on top and small midges underneath. There's been a little dry action with beetles, ants, parachute adams and blue duns. The caddis should start hatching out pretty soon and hopefully they'll be taking some caddis on top when that happens. The Nevada section has been fishing pretty well the last few days, poxyback stones, caddis nymphs, flashback emergers, rainbow warriors, miracle nymphs and mercury midges have all been doing well.
