East Walker: Good

If you are Jones-N for some less trafficked and easier quality water to fish the EW is your huckleberry. Drifters guide Two Bug Doug Dolan reports good things here with the conditions by far the best for the newly opened year around waters. Light crowds even over the holidays. Flows remain low with no bed ice present. Nymphing the larger pools and runs with water at least three feet are your best bet. PT's, SJ worms and a crystal olive zebra or tiger. A popular local nymph that is relatively new called the "silver streak" #18-22 is making a name for itself on the EW. You can pick it up at Ken's in Bridgeport. There is snow along the banks but the pull outs are all accessible by vehicle.
