The lake level remains on the low side with the transition water between river & lake being much further into the canyon than you may be accustomed to. Dry/dropper bead head nymph rigs still rule in this section and a crystal tiger or zebra midge is very effective here. Look for strong baetis activity just before lunch and switch to PT's or adults BWO patterns then. The mud when it thaws remains an issue, use caution and make sure your boots are tightly laced when it gets sticky in the late morn/early afternoon. The rocky short river section begins just downstream of the powerhouse and can be fantastic this time of year. It looks and feels like a mini-East Walker River to me in this area and you will find good numbers of fish holding in the plentiful pocket water all along this run. Solid steeple casts- over the shoulder- and forehand roll casts are necessary to keep you out of the proverbial "penalty box" in this heavily brush lined section. Freeze tubing has been terrific near the launch ramp if you don't mind the crowds and the cold water. Most streamers in the #8-12 range will work well with a full or heavy sinking tip line. Look for increasing chironomids action in March and bring along your still water nymph rigs to fish the drop-offs. It can be better than Crowley here at times for tubing no doubt, & it remains open year around. We supply float tubes if you are interested in a trip.
