East Walker River Fish report 07-18-07

Tom Loe

Well below average release rates for this time of year.?? The wading is easy and the entire river is accessible to the Nevada border.?? Water clarity remains very good and there are afternoon caddis hatches with good opportunities to hit some fish on top if the afternoon T-storms do not blow you out in the canyon.

I suggest you fish nymphs under a "Sungicator" in the larger pools and runs or high stick the rascals in the pools that allow you to properly position yourself for a solid dead drift.

Go down in fly size for this clean low water.?? Gillies, Tigers, Zebras (olive is my choice) #18-22.?? Pt's are also excellent nymphs most times here and I am partial to those that have a flashback thorax #16-20.

Dennis Finn from San Jose, CA had a fun day nymphing with Drifters Guide "Two Bug" Doug Dolan recently.?? Dennis got a handsome brown while high sticking in an overgrown section that holds some fine fish.
