EAST WALKER RIVER           

The East Walker on the California side of the state line is closed until April 27. 2024. The Nevada side of the river is open through the Winter. 

The flows on theEW are still at about 125 cfs, not sure how long that great flow will last but it’s working great for now. The fishing has been very good down there with lots of nice fish being caught, mostly on nymphs and streamers and a few here and there on dries. Dry/dropper rigs have also been working pretty good some days. The weather has been much nicer the last few days and this has helped the fishing get even better. Most of the anglers we’ve talked to have been reporting 5 to 15 fish per half day or so with most being in the 14 to 17 inch range with a few here and there around 20 or 22. Some patterns to try: perdigon nymphs, copper john, darth baetis, poxyback stone, micro stone, rubberlegs, sculpzilla, Dali Lama, fishwhacker, cousin it, baby gonga, chubby Chernobyl.                     

   

SCEIRINE RANCH    

Still getting good reports from the ranch, lots of nice fish in the 14 to 20 inch range there. most of the same patterns that are working on the Rosachi will also work on the Sceirine. Give is a call if you’d like to reserve some time on the ranch.      

 

HUNEWILL POND       

Haven’t had any anglers on the pond this past couple weeks but conditions are great and the fishing should be excellent, I guess maybe I’ll just have to get out there myself to check it out for you.                

            

BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR        

Closed until April 27, 2024                    

 

KIRMAN LAKE                      

Closed until April 27, 2024             

 

TWIN LAKES                     

Closed until April 27, 2024                                                         

 

WEST WALKER RIVER              

Didn’t hear any news from the West this week, the water is still pretty cold but you should be able to scrounge a fish or two up there with some attractor nymphs, small streamers or maybe a Panther Martin or Mepps spinner. Be sneaky, the water is still very clear and the fish are likely to be fairly spooky.                               

 

VIRGINIA LAKES                 

Closed until April 27, 2024
