Fish Report for 4-7-2019
Early April Fly Fishing Report

EAST WALKER RIVER
The East is running at 302 right now, the fishing has been pretty good for some anglers and not so good for others. This flow is definitely a bit tougher to fish than when it’s at lower flows, it requires more weight to get your bugs down to the bottom and larger indicators to carry that weight, think “steelhead fishing”. Anglers who are making all the right moves are being rewarded with 5 to 15 fish days with most of the fish ranging from about 14 to 20 inches. Nymphing has been the best but the streamer action is coming on strong right now. They’re liking bright colored streamers the most and they’re still on the san juan worms pretty good.
Recommended Flies:
Rainbow warrior, silver streak, micro stone, poxyback stone, Darth baetis, pheasant tail, prince, aggravator prince, dark lord, radiation baetis, prince nymphs, san juan worm, zebra midge, top secret midge, flashback emerger, poxyback stone, micro stone, sculpzilla, dali lama, zuddler.
SCEIRINE RANCH
The ranch is much the same as the California side, more difficult with the higher flows with some anglers reporting up to 15 fish days and others not doing so well. The stoneflies are starting to hatch out down there so some big poxyback stones and the like are doing well. Also they’re still on the San Juans like on the Cali side.
HUNEWILL POND
Only one angler on the pond this week and he reported landing around 15 fish on everything from zebra midges to leech patterns. Good action throughout the day with fish rising all over the pond still. We have some anglers booked for this week so we should be able to get some more reports again soon.
