http://www.truckeeriveroutfitters.comFlows are down to 276 on the East Walker. These are great summertime flows. The only issue is they have been fluctuating often due to irrigation. Only 5 days ago the flows were over 600 CFS. If the flows stay at the current levels, it could get really good going forward.
These are great flows for dry dropper set-ups. Use a big Hopper or Golden Stone dry and drop off a size 16 Caddis or something similar. If you are fishing with someone you can rig up one dry fly rig and one nymph rig and take turns in each run. Start off fishing the Big Dry in slower water and seems and then dive right in with a couple of nymphs. Have a 2nd option on a place to fish in case the water levels change again.

Maholo nymphs fished under an indicator can catch fish all day. Stripping just about anything in 10......
