I'm scheduled to head to the East Walker this weekend with some buddies. I have never been down there before. Anyone have suggestions on rigs, flow conditions, etc. ? It's running at around 90 cfs right now, and it's supposed to be cold during the week but warming up for the weekend. Reports seem kind of scattered and hard to decipher from one another. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
I've fished it once last summer and there are alot of fish, I beleive flows were around 90 when i was there and it was alot of sight fishing, seems every undercut bank had browns stacked up. I didnt explore much, i fished the area right below bridgeport reservoir, I've heard this area sometimes referred to as "the miracle mile". Its a bueatiful river, I'm sure you'll have a great time. What route do you plan to take to get there ? I went over sonora pass, wich is obviously closed right now due to snow. You should stop by the flyshop in bridgeport, i forget what its called but you cant miss it, its on your left as you come into town.
Captain, we're going to go down 395 from Reno. Was the sport/ fly shop callen Ken's or Jim's? There's one in town that has a guys name in it. Thanks for the info
