Hard luck on both Walker forks

East Walker River (CA) - Bridgeport, CA

The East is still running at 22 cfs and is likely to not have much change in the near future. There are still a few fish to be caught by focusing on the deeper pools and runs as well as the undercut banks. It's tough fishing and you'll need to be on your game for sure, but the upside is that many of the fish that are being caught are in the 18 to 25 inch range. The water temps are still good and the fish are very thick and healthy. The anglers who have been enjoying the greatest success have been using dry/dropper rigs with an attractor on top like a madam x, stimulator or humpy and underneath they're running a rainbow warrior, silver streak, flashback emerger, micro mayfly, san juan worm or white zebra midge. We haven't heard much about dries or streamers lately though they may work in the early morning or late evening. If you're planning on hitting up the river and would like to hire a guide Andrew Sears is available to help you out, just give us a call for availability! The small amount of snow we still have is melting and causing the West to be high and muddy, pretty tough fishing right now but I'd only expect it to be this way for another week or so, as the snow melt starts to subside the water will clear up and the fishing should get much better! 760-932-7707
