Fish Report for 8-9-2013

Sierra Drifters has opted not to guide on the East Walker so as not to harm the fish this year

The EW is one of the victim's of the drought year. It is currently flowing at 70cfs. (this is a very low summertime flow) and is off color with substantial weeds and goo in the channels and pools. We have opted not to guide here for the time being. If you do fish here I suggest you go downstream from the first bridge, as dissolved oxygen levels are nearly twice that in the miracle mile. With Bridgeport Reservoir being so low don't expect conditions to improve much until it cools down this fall.

Pictured Above: Vic Davis sent me this picture of a well released gorgeous brown caught in July on an assassin/broken back midge combo nymph rig. Nice fish Vic!
