Magical time of the year on the eastern size. Cold, crisp mornings and dwindling crowds. Put that extra layer on because its into the 20's now at night in most places in the eastern sierra. The fall colors around hope valley, June lake, and EC are just beautiful. Take it all in.
East Walker flows are now at 172 CFS which is the best they've been in years for this time of the year. I love this river between 100-200 CFS. I could finally cross! Water temps are down into the mid 50's pretty much all day and the great flows all summer has helped this place thrive once again. I put away the nymph game and it was meat and potatoes time on the streamer outfit. Don't bother going 2-3x with your feathers. I was using 1x and these browns/bows are not shy. They are aggressively attacking right now. There are some baetis nymphs in the system as well right now and of course midges. I fooled one guy on a hopper but it was lucky.
EC- Water is perfect at 125-140 CFS and there are a lot of stocked fish in the system. A really good time to take a younger novice. Egg patters, princes, copper johns all getting grabs.
WC- I just was in awe of the colors. I didn't fish it. Such a lovely stream this time of year.
Enjoy the fall! 134971349813499
