The East Walker River has been up and down on flows the last week, but is now back to around 60 cfs and could go higher or lower in the next week. This is an advantageous period that allows anglers to fish in more areas of the river before the flows drop again. Look for bigger fish to take advantage of the flow increase and move around from their deeper pools to feed. Once the flows lower again you will have the best luck in the deepest pools and runs. There is an abundance of juvenile perch that have been flushed from the lake and the large fish are noticing them. Streamer patterns like our #8 and #10 Punk Perch imitate these high protein meals and can land you that trophy trout.
