Checkout the latest report from Guy Jeans (Kern River Fly Shop). Generally... The Kern’s running high, but there’s still fish to be had. On the Upper, trout are holding in soft edge water and eating streamers if you stay out of the main current. The incoming creeks are bouncing back from the fires, with wild browns taking dry-dropper rigs in deeper pools. Down low, the river’s pushing hard from Isabella outflows... not great conditions, but fishable from the bank. View the video for more details.
