The East is up to about 312 cfs as of a couple days ago, this has caused the fishing to be a bit tougher but we’re still getting some pretty good reports from down there. The wading can be difficult at this flow so you’ll need to be very careful while in the water. You’ll need to add some weight to our nymphs and streamers with this kind of flow but if you get your flies down towards the bottom you should be able to pull some good fish. Some of the successful patterns lately have been: cousin it sculpin, ziwi, Dali Lama, dead drift crayfish, pats rubberleg, wired stonefly, rainbow warrior, darth baetis, copper john, micro mayfly.
Also, some food for thought, in the Fish and Wildlife Departments infinite wisdom they have decided to not make barbless hooks mandatory on the East Walker, this is absolutely going to be detrimental to the life if this amazing river in the future, if you care at all about the East Walker and its sustainability, please pinch your barbs, if everyone adheres to this practice it will help the East Walker River to keep on being a world class fishery. Thanks for your consideration.
