As most fly anglers know, now is the time to be fishing the Eastern Sierras. The fishing is great everywhere. From stripping streamers on the East Walker to waiting for your indicator to go screaming across the lake at Crowley, it’s time. I have been guiding Hot Creek a lot lately and can not remember ever hooking so many big fish on dries. The weeds are on the downswing so landing fish and making good drifts are getting easier. The Upper Owens has been fishing great with the wild fish coming up from the lake. If you haven’t streamer fished in the fall on the Upper O, you need to. The San Jaoquin is still good for those who want to do some hiking around. I have some “secret spots” to share for clients that love to get off the beaten path. The best fishing for the big boys has definitely been on the East Walker. The two year old browns are abundant in the 12-15 inch range, along with the beasts that eat really well this time of year. NOW is the time to book a trip with hungry fish and no crowds. Looking forward to fishing with you soon, Nate.
