Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

There’s only been one angler on the Sceirine the last couple weeks, he was able to land several nice fish with his time down there. A dry/dropper rig worked the best with at least one fish even taking the dry on top. Stimulators with a midge dropper like a flashback emerger or rainbow warrior should do the trick down there.

The Sceirine is still fishing pretty well with most anglers reporting lots of nice rainbows and browns up to around 22 inches. It seems like darker flies are having the most success like dark lords, black tube midges, black rainbow warriors and the like. There are some open dates down there if you’re interested in having some prime East Walker water to yourself!

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

Some of the better reports we've been getting have been from the ranch this past week, there's pretty good numbers of both rainbows and browns hanging out on the ranch property. This could be due to better water quality or the lack of pressure, either way it's not a bad choice of water. The same patterns that are hitting on the rest of the river
