EAST WALKER RIVER October 06, 2024
The East is flowing at about 85 cfs or so right now and has been fishing very well on both the California side (mostly past the bridge) and the Nevada side of the border. We’ve been getting lots of good reports on streamers and nymphs and still a few good reports here and there on dry/dropper rigs. There are still lots of browns and rainbows in the river and based on some reports it seems as though there are decent numbers of rainbows already moving upstream and into the “Mile” section. The weather has been great, a bit cooler in the mornings but the daytime temps have been great, the water quality on the river has been good. Some patterns to try down there: naked chubby, madam X, stimulator, rainbow warrior, squirmy wormy, pheasant tail, perdigon, zebra midge, darth baetis, sculpzilla, ziwi, Dali Lama, double bunny.
SCEIRINE RANCH October 06, 2024
The ranch is still fishing excellent with most reports coming in from anglers who are getting into 10+ fish per half day out there. Like the California side it’s been good with mostly streamers and nymphs and a few anglers are having success with dry/dropper rigs. If you’re interested in booking some time on the ranch give us a call.
HUNEWILL POND October 06, 2024
The pond fished very well this week with reports coming in from anglers getting into 4 to 10 fish per day. Some of the action was with small leech patterns but the majority of it seemed to come on small pheasant tail nymphs and soft hackles. The weeds are starting to go away likely due to the colder nights so they don’t seem to be much of a problem any longer. There are plenty of dates available so give us a call if you’d like to book some time out there.
BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR October 06, 2024
We’re still getting good reports from the Reservoir both trolling, still fishing out of boats and shore fishing. Shore anglers are using power bait, mice tails, pinched crawlers and inflated crawlers, mostly fishing from the “Bathtub” down to the dam, trolling has been good with Thomas Bouyants, night crawlers, kastmasters and small Rapalas and boat anglers choosing to bait fish have been doing well with garlic power bait, pinched crawlers and inflated crawlers. We’ve also had a couple good reports from fly anglers stripping leech patterns out in front of the marina as well as up in the East Walker channel.
KIRMAN LAKE October 06, 2024
We only received one report from Kirman, a few fly anglers went up there but unfortunately were blown off by the heavy winds the day they were there, they did talk to one spin anglers who told them he caught 1 brookie that was about 17” on a mini jig but that’s all we heard. If we get some new reports this coming week we’ll pass them on.
TWIN LAKES October 06, 2024
The Twins have been a little hit and miss from what we’re hearing, there’s a few fish being caught here and there, both browns and rainbows but it’s overall been a bit tough. Some of the successful anglers are getting fish trolling with small Rapalas and Thomas Bouyants and there’s a few fish being caught with baits like garlic power bait, pinched crawlers and mice tails.
WEST WALKER RIVER October 06, 2024
We got some very good reports from the West this week, most of the good reports we received were from fly anglers fishing dry/dropper rigs though fishing eggs and worms should produce for the bait anglers and maybe Panther Martins and Mepps spinners for the lure anglers. The dry/dropper rigs have been stimulators and hoppers on top with rainbow warriors, pheasant tails, soft hackles and copper johns underneath.
VIRGINIA LAKES October 06, 2024
Like the Twins, the Virginias have been a bit hit and miss lately as well, there are definitely some fish being caught but the anglers getting them are working for them. Mini jigs have been getting anglers some fish as well as Thomas Bouyants and Kastmasters, bait anglers are catching a few with pinched crawlers and mice tails. Fly anglers can try mini leeches, soft hackles and pheasant tails.
