Fish Report for 7-4-2012
The East Walker is fishing excellent these days
7-4-2012
The Trout Fitter Staff
Flows remain very low considering the warm weather. They have fluctuated a little but are staying in a range from 120-170fcs. Water clarity remains great and overall the fly fishing is good especially in the lower sections down from the "miracle mile" which has a tendency to be beaten like a red headed step child at times.
Caddis flies, PMD mayflies, midges, and an ever increasing amount of terrestrials are on the trout's menu now. Use olive crystal caddis and midge larva patterns, flashback PT's, broken back midges, Assassin bird's nest for nymphing. A good set up when the bite gets slow is to hang a punk perch or crystal leech as the upper fly #12-16-then drop a bead head 12 inches below it. The EW has small Sacramento Perch and damsel fly nymphs which the punk imitates well.
Low sun periods are always better this time of year, however you will see some consistent surface action during the mayfly and midge hatch. Focus on the base or tail outs of the pools and deeper riffles during the emergences for surface opportunities.
