Flows are 126CFS. The water is still pretty warm and looking at the forecast it could stay that way for another week or so. Mornings and evenings are still the best time to go. Fish are looking up at hopper patterns and starting to get pretty active. The flows are perfect right now for wading, Dry Dropper, Nymphing etc. This is a great time to be on the East Walker. A great way to approach the river right now is to take two rods; one with a Hopper and one with a couple of nymphs either under an indicator or "Floater No Cator" style. Make a few casts into shallow water around the main current and seams with the Hopper and then go back through with your nymph rig. The fishing should only get better as the weather cools and if the flows stay in the area they are in now.
