Flows remain high at 800 CFS. It is irrigation season and we could see these type of water levels all summer. Twin Lakes and Bridgeport reservoir are full and there is plenty of water for the farmers. If the flows do not fluctuate much it can be very fishable. Be aware that there is no way to cross the river and some of the banks are so overgrown that it is hard to get to the water. In the areas where this is not a problem the best way to approach a section is to fish the edges right up against the banks. The fish will not be in the middle fighting all that fast water. Big attractor dries such as hoppers or stimulators drifted in slower moving seems and edges could raise a few fish. You can also add a dropper. Indicator rigs are worth a try and streamers fished with a sink tip line can also be effective. Catch a fish or two and it will become more obvious as to where they are hiding. Mornings and evenings are the best time to fish the East Walker right now.
