Large East Walker Brown Trout

Though we did not see quite as many HOGS out of the East Walker as we did in 2009 that is all changing  this Fall of 2010… The river is is great shape at 121cfs, a light green colour is observed- this green river colour helps the large fish move about the river under cover. Streamers are getting more attention: Rock Knocker Sculpins #2-6 ,Zonkers 2-6, Large Wooly buggers and Double Bunnies are all great patterns to fish in the EW. Try different colours throughout the day. For nymphing use Baetis Emerger patterns- Bubbleback emerger #18-20, BWO halfback emerger #18-20  Caddis sparkle pupa #18, Ascending Caddis #16-20 Gut Instinct #16-20 and Poly Wing Emergers #18-20 in (blk, brown and Gray) T- Midge emergers in Pearl or Olive #18-22. Crayfish patterns, and perch fly pattern as a top fly  in  sizes #8-12 have been getting fish. Tug or nymph these patterns. Further on down the river try Prince nymphs, Copper Johns and Stonefly nymphs all sizes #12-16 fished with the flies suggested above. This will be an unforgetable fall season on the East Walker- which is one of our favorite waters to guide.  Look for more updates frequently as we will be spending a lot of time up in Bridgeport. Give us a call at the shop for more info.   (760)873-0010
