Idaho Fish Report

The EAST WALKER RIVER flows are currently at 140cfs and holding.?? This is a good thing. There were some incredible fish caught here during the opening week despite cold morning air temps and lower flows.?? This is truly great news as the low winter flows coupled with heavy bed ice that plagued the EW this winter looks to have had a minimal negative impact on the larger trout.?? Midge and mayfly nymphs #16-20 are best.?? Look at the base or tail out sections of the larger pools and long riffles during the baetis hatch.?? The golden stone fly hatch is in its infancy here as well and you can always rely on a yellow bodied Stimulator to use as the upper fly in a dry/dry or dry dropper nymph set up.
