Back down to a very fishy flow of 230cfs the East Walker is showing us what it is capable of.. Big Trout! .. Fish are out and about and ready to eat the properly presented pattern. Snow is mostly all gone except for a few shaded snow drifts.. Streamers and nymphs are working with most of the usual patterns taking fish… #12-16 SJ worms patterns, #18-20 T-Midges in olive and Pearl, #18 Flash Bang Midges in Cream, Biot Midges in #16-20 in grey and black, Caddis worms #16-20 and other similar patterns. For dries the occasional mayfly patterns will work when you find a pod of rising trout.. generally, you will not get the larger trout out of the East Walker using standard dry flies. Streamers of your choice will also do the trick.. We prefer large bunny streamers in a range of colours fished down deep or near the surface depending on what the fish are showing you.. An excellent choice for the Eastern Sierra fly fisherman.
