The flows were recently pushed up to 590cfs on the East
Walker which is high water for this fishery.
We have still been managing to extract fish from the fast yet clean
water. Nymphing deep with lots of weight Czech style or using a large indicator
to hold up the weight you put on to get the flies right in front of the fish is
the obvious method for success in these conditions. Most of the same nymphs are still covering most of the situations
and fly angler might come across in the East Walker. …#12-16
San Juan 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 will work well. Split Case BWO emergers in #18-20
and Bubbleback emergers in #18-20 as well. For the BWO hatch on the surface
when you see rising trout use #16-20 Thorax BWO’s and Extended Body BWO
patterns. Your heaviest favorite
streamers fished correctly will also
get some great action. Fish these in all sorts of angles, depths, and
techniques to cover all bases.
