East Walker River (CA) Fish Report for 5-20-2022
The flows have come up enough to make it worth a shot

Water Conditions: Poor
Flows are at 70 cfs as of 5/14
Fishing conditions and Hatches:Fair
Well the flows have come up enough to make it worth a shot but the clear water and big crowds don't help. The bug hatches have remained the same and the fishing has improved enough to justify removing the "poor" rating from the fishing conditions. Insect life is primarily midges in the morning, BWO midday and lots of scuds in the slow water with a scattering of caddis.
