EAST WALKER RIVER
9/7/24: Despite the recent fish kill, the river continues to fish very well as long as you concentrate your efforts on the river two+ miles below the reservoir. With the lack of fishing pressure it's almost like opening day without the crowds. We continue to see good hatches of midges, Tricos, BWO's and caddis every day. The water is still a little warm so look for that riffle and pocket water where the river has good oxygen levels and you will find willing and happy trout. All of your favorite techniques will work but with the latest drop in the river flow it's hard to beat a good old dry/dropper rig. Don't forget, we have 30 miles of amazing trout water below Bridgeport Reservoir!
