East Walker River: Great
What a shock!?? The early season opening of several waters including the EW in March of this year did not kill all the trout before the regular opener.?? It is this way with all the catch and release fisheries recently opened to year round fishing and we can dispose of any arguments that the early opening did any damage financially or habitat wise with regards to these fisheries this season.

The flows are currently at 150 cfs but should begin to creep up soon as irrigation needs increase.?? Nymphing under an indicator is proving to be the most effective means of getting grabs with midge patterns, PT's, and WD 40's being popular with the trout.?? Fish a tandem rig with the lower fly being at least one size smaller than its upper counter part.

Steve and Elsbeth Roach from Apple Valley, CA went a wading the EW with guide "Two Bug" Doug Dolan.?? The couple landed numerous chunky browns and rainbows while spending a day nymphing the famed tailwater.
