SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR 
CALIFORNIA WATERS

Current River Conditions: 100 CFS

Fishing Report - Good: Jim at Ken's Sporting Goods in Bridgeport https://kenssport.com reports "The East is running around 100 today. The fishing has been pretty good on the river, the dry/dropper thing seems to have slowed down but the streamer action and the nymphing action is still doing very well. There seems to be some action picking up on the "Mile" section for mostly larger fish with some anglers reporting 6 or 7 fish per day with most of them being 19+ inches. There's still larger numbers of fish on the lower section as well as the Rosachi section with most of the fish being in the 12 to 18 inch range. Some patterns to try: sculpzulla, dead drift crayfish, razor craw, ziwi, Dali lama, double bunny, perdigon, silver streak, psycho prince, zebra midge, darth baetis, flashback emerger."  ​

NEARBY LAKES

​

VIRGINIA LAKES (8/24/26) Open for the season

Fishing - Good: The Virginias are still providing some good action, especially for the float tube anglers. Fly anglers fishing sinking lines with matukas, Twin Lakes Specials, buggers, soft hackles and pheasant tail nymphs are doing well.              

KIRMAN LAKE (5/18/26)
Fishing-?: No report from anyone this week. 

HENAN LAKE (10/22/25)
I haven't had a report in about a week or so but my source in Markleeville said that he had heard from several fishermen that the fishing was tough. One of the reasons was that the lake hadn't turned over yet and the fish were still deep. With the current cool weather things should change soon.
