Fish Report for 9-19-2013

The West Walker is better than most with regards to flows

Tom Loe

As far as tail water fisheries go on the east side this fall, the WW is better than most with regards to flows. Aggressive stocking from the CDFW & local businesses have also boosted fish counts. Hit the campground areas and Pikel Meadows with dry/dropper bead head combos. A Stimulator and a tiger midge or crystal olive caddis work super here most of the time. Look for the darker water-this color change will tell you where the deeper pools are & the majority of the fish.
