Fly Fishing: A beginner's experience

Fisheries in the eastern sierras are visited by anglers from all around the globe for two key reasons: their immense beauty and various species of beautiful yet plentiful trout. I’ve learned that this region’s rivers each have different personalities and sizes, yet they are all enchanting in the same exact way. In the Sierras, you’ll find the Owens, the East and West Walker, the Truckee, the South Yuba, and the Carson River.

My favorite spot to fish in the Eastern Sierras is the East Walker River, hands down. This river is renowned for its large browns and rainbows, available year-round, as well as its stunning scenery. During the summer, usually throw multiple different types of nymphs and dries, but in the wintertime, I mostly throw streamers there. I have not fished the Owens River yet, which I am looking forward to.
