The conditions here have been very good and have been for a lengthy duration of time.?? The word is out amongst fly fishers and the only down side is the high angling pressure found in the upper section known as the "miracle mile"?? Look further downstream towards the Nevada border (7 more river miles) and you will still encounter some "enlightened" individuals but will have more water to yourself most days.?? This section of the river has quality fish also and a more diverse array of water scenarios to challenge you for sure.?? Caddis hatches are strong as well as strong midge activity.?? WD-40's # 18-22, flashback Pt's #16-20, our crystal tigers and olive zebras #16-22 The damsel nymphs are also on the move and this could be the key to enticing the brown of a lifetime out from under the cut bank late in the afternoon as the shadows blanket the EW's deeper pools.

"Two Bug" Doug Dolan guided Greg Moon from Las Vegas, NV to an "extended cab" rainbow with a deluxe paint job on the EW recently.?? That ain't no holiday family photo at the in laws kind of smile on that face baby! Click on www.sierradrifters.com/fish.html
