East Walker is fishing well if you put the time into fishing below the stock bridge to Murhpys pond. Water levels can change daily as the river is used to water Nevada ranches down stream. At present time the CFS flow is 125 very fishable. Up in the miracle mile area to the dam fishing is still good but the fish have seen a lot of flies. You will need to have a good drift and the right pattern to be productive. Try midge larve and pupa in the early morning then Mayfly nymphs will be the flys of choice. a San Juan worm maybe a good bet also for your top fly. 5x tippet.
