Fish Report for 5-28-2012

The Flows on the East Wlaker are just 110 cfs and fishing couldn't be better

5-28-2012
Tom Loe

Flows are well below historical averages and are currently at 110cfs. They will begin to go up soon, however you will not see the huge releases experienced last year. The summer months will be rough on the fish on the EW if flows remain low, so get your licks in early and give them a break when the water gets warm and green in August.

Midges and Mayflies are going off currently, decent dry fly action late mornings on the calmer days. It has been very windy during the end of May, consequently pressure has been lighter than normal. June will bring out good caddis activity so bring some elk hair caddis adult patterns #14-18 along for sure. Olive colored crystal caddis and midge larva, or emerger patterns work well here for nymphing this time of year.
