East Walker River - Bridgeport, CA (Mono County)


7-9-2007

The release rates remain very fishable for this time of year and although you may find some substantial slow downs during the high sun periods. The fish remain very active during the hatches of midges, caddis flies, damsel flies, and PMD's. Reports of a few "widow makers" being taken by local pros. Nymphing is still your best bet and it is always better to use patterns that incorporate some flash into them during times of the year where you have intense hatches or off colored water. #16-22 patterns on the EW are the foundation sizes for the insect base most of the time. Go smaller in the slower, clearer water and use less flash, have some larger, brighter flies for the riffles and faster runs. Tug a Spruce-A-Bu, Loeberg, or Drifters Damsel nymphs #8-12 through some of those "hog Holes" after the sun goes below the rim for a few hours and stay with it until you think it's over and time to have a cold one. Make a few more casts, and tell me what happened?ΔΆ
