What a fantastic year! The flows have dropped back to very fishable levels and it has been good. Anything below 300cfs this time of year is great. Mornings have been best while nymphing as it has been very crowded most days.

The EW can be a technical piece of water due to the breadth and diversity of currents along the river channel. It requires accurate and aggressive mends to properly fish the transitions where the majority of the fish hold. If you have been stymied here give us a call and we will show you how to fish the EW. One guide trip with a Sierra Drifters pro will pay huge dividends for you in the future.

FLY CHOICES:
The best combo for me has been twin broken back midges (copper heads) or a FB Pt # 18-20 after lunch.


I can't emphasize enough how crucial it is to utilize ample weight respective to the run you are fishing. You must get your imitations down along the bottoms contour, and it requires adjustment for each piece of water you fish. Proper weighting far outweighs what fly you select within reason, and is the single most important factor for successful nymphing.
