BRIDGEPORT AREA WATERS— The East Walker River is closed to winter fishing in California, but anglers are reporting a good bite a bit further downstream on the Nevada side. Mornings are cold, often in the teens right now and storms are on the way. Not many reports, and the few coming from the West Walker indicate the best fishing has been further north near the town of Walker. Winter waters open to fishing include the West Walker River, Robinson Creek, Green Creek, Virginia Creek, Buckeye Creek, Little Walker River, Rock Creek, McGee Creek (upstream from US 395), Lee Vining Creek (From the Lee Vining conduit upstream.) No reports yet from winter anglers, but all those waters were well stocked with trophy rainbows, along with DFW trout prior to the end of the general season.

HOT CREEK—Colder water is thinning the weeds and anglers are reporting good conditions. Look for browns to begin moving into the creek to spawn. Micro midges and standard egg patterns a good bet, and watch for the afternoon Blue-wing Olive hatch.
