More good news! The East Walker is fishing very well despite low flows. The SD guide crew has been fishing the Cal and NV sections daily since the end of February and the bite has really picked up. Strong midge activity daily, with a good showing of baetis after 1 pm. Look for a substantial flow increase to begin towards the end of the month, with further increases by late spring. It will be roaring this summer for sure.

There is significant snow remaining on the ground near the dam and the walking to and from the river can be a tad cumbersome. Conditions are great along the river and wading is not an issue. I strongly suggest you stop by one of the fine fly shops we endorse and pick up a pair of rubber soled wading boots. They will be mandatory just about everywhere soon. Felt soles suck when hiking in the snow or ice and spread invasive species and diseases.

We will be guiding the NV section of the East Walker during prime times this season and are very excited about showing SD clients some new water.

Bridgeport Reservoir will also be a top location this summer near the creek inlet areas so keep this location in mind around July for sure!
