EAST WALKER RIVER        
The flows on the East have been bumped up to about 300 cfs. We’ve been getting mixed reports from the river at this flow, some anglers are reporting good times with 10 to 15 fish per day while others are struggling a little with only a couple fish per day. It’s very important at this flow and higher to add sufficient weight to get your flies down near the bottom where the fish are hanging out, this is probably one of the most difficult things to achieve when the flows are a bit higher. If you can do this and get good solid dead drifts you should be able to have some success. The wading is a bit harder of course at the higher flow so be careful when you’re in the water. The Rosachi section in Nevada is also fishing pretty well and is usually a little less crowded.

Recommended Flies:
Rubberlegs, rainbow warrior, silver streak, micro stone, poxyback stone, Darth baetis, pheasant tail, aggravator prince, dark lord, radiation baetis, prince nymphs, san juan worm, zebra midge, top secret midge, flashback emerger,  sculpzilla, peanut envy, dali lama, zuddler, double bunny, dead drift crayfish.  

SCEIRINE RANCH                  
Kind of the same story on the Sceirine, some good reports and some not so good as well. Just like on the Cali side you need to get your bugs down and get a good dead drift. The water temps are around 50 degrees now and it looks like most of the storms have passed for the time being so things should get better and better while the flows aren’t too high.  

HUNEWILL POND        
The pond has fished excellent this week with most anglers reporting 15 to 20 fish per day out there. Some leech action, some dry/dropper action and some stillwater nymphing as well. Mayers mini leeches, stillwater nymphs, soft hackles, zebra midges and chirinomids have all been doing well. Lots of fish rising everyday to keep you interested!
