Ken’s Sporting Goods reports mixed results on the East Walker River, which is flowing around 90 cfs. The “Miracle Mile” still seems to be recovering from last year’s fish kill, with most anglers struggling in that stretch. Better action came downstream, especially from below the bridge down to Murphy’s Pond. Anglers finding success were mostly drifting nymphs, with a few fish taken on streamers. Productive patterns included rainbow warriors, San Juan worms, squirmy wormies, perdigons, copper Johns, drag queens, dead drift crayfish, and sculpzillas. A bump in flows could help push more fish back into the Mile.
