The East Walker on the California side of the state line is closed until April 27. 2024. The Nevada side of the river is open through the Winter.

 

The East has been bumped up to about 212 cfs now, it’s still fishing pretty well but it is a bit more difficult than when it was at a lower flow. You’ll have to add some additional weight to get your flies down towards the bottom and likely lengthen the distance betwen your indicator and weight. Most of the action has still been with nymphs and streamers and with the increased flow I haven’t heard any news about dries or dry/dropper rigs lately. Wading can be a bit more difficult with the higher flows so be careful and don’t be shy about using a wading staff. Some patterns to try include: Ziwi, Dali Lama, sculpzilla, rubberlegs, wired stonefly, poxyback stone, perdigon, picky eater perdigon, flashback emerger, copper john, dark lord.
