| East Walker River |
| "Loved by Some, Feared by Others" |
Anglers come from all over the country each year to try their luck against
the wiley browns and rainbows of the East Walker River. The East Walker is
located just 5 miles North of Bridgeport on Highway 182 and crosses into
Nevada about 7 miles later for another 8 or 10 miles of great fishing on the
other side of the border. The East Walker has much to offer anglers in the
way of wild trout fishing. Just in the last couple of years the river has
produced rainbows up to 9 pounds and browns over the 13 pound mark!
Annually many anglers report having 20 to 40 fish days with a good number
of these being in the 18 to 24 inch range.
The EW has special regulations, artificial flies or lures only, barbless hooks,
from November 16 to the last Saturday in April the limit is zero, the rest of
the year the limit is one fish over 18". These special regulations are just
one of the many things that help to make the East Walker a world class
trout stream.
The EW is a tailwater river beginning at the dam on Bridgeport Reservoir
and flowing North to Nevada and eventually on to Walker Lake near
Hawthorne NV. This river grows an intense amount of food for trout to live
on including 8 or 10 different types of forage fish as well as many different
types of insects.
Ken's offers licenses and information for both the California and Nevada
sides of the river, any flies and tackle you could possibly need to help your
day on the river to be successful. If you would like to hire a guide to help
get you dialed in on the river, Andrew Sears and Scott Freeman are both
available and book right through Ken's. Also, if you're interested in
something a little more private, Ken's is the booking agent for the Sceirine
Ranch which is a private section of the East Walker on the Nevada side of
the border and Scott Freeman is fully licensed to guide in Nevada as well.
