Flows are 20 CFS. Even though we have seen some warmer weather around Reno, it is still quite cold near Bridgeport. At 20 CFS the East Walker does not create enough current to keep the ice from forming around the edges, banks and slower water. This makes getting around the river and getting a good drift pretty tough. The afternoons are the time to be on the water when it is warmer. The river is fishable but be aware of winter time conditions. Nymphing with small flies in 18-22 has been the best lately. Midges, San Juan Worms and Baetis Nymphs tend to be the best. Take your time and approach the water with some stealth. Wear neutral clothing as well. Look for these low flows to continue for the remainder of the winter.
