Conditions : Walker River: The flows on the East Walker are currently less than 30 CFS. Recent fishing has been exceptional with the colder temps. Fly anglers have been using small midge patterns (size 22) under an indicator. Midge patters have been connecting with some big fish but it takes some finesse to land them. Dont underestimate a good streamer pattern this time of year. Brown trout will be chasing bait fish to build up reserves for spawning. Chuck streamers in the seams and swing the drops off for best results Dry dropper rigs are still worth a try. You can fool the occasional fish on Hopper patterns through the fall months.

Current brown trout study is going on and researchers are requesting information on tagged fish including color (to determine if wild or hatchery) and location where fish was caught.
