Fish Report for 6-16-2012
The extended period of low flows have given fly fishers some good times on the EW as of late.

Water temps are climbing and with this you will see increased caddis activity before noon, a solid PMD emergence most days with the cloudy ones being especially good. Nymphing with midge patterns and mayfly imitations are also right on. The EW has an exceptional chironomid {midge} population being the tail water for Bridgeport Reservoir.
Broken back midges are deadly here as they bounce on the riffle water and wiggle looking very realistic. Work the sections below the first bridge crossing away from the popular "miracle mile" for a better shot at some numbers. At flows below 200 cfs wading is easy and crossing in the harder to reach areas is not difficult. Dry dropper combos can be the hot ticket using crystal olive midge or caddis patterns as the nymph dropper, select a stimulator, #14-16 caddis adult, or Hi-vis para post mayfly for the dry fly. This is a great rig to fish the riffle or short water, and can be effective in the eddies and seams when you see fish sipping.
