Much of the West Walker River flows through private lands. The river is non-navigable, meaning the river channel adjacent to private property is also private property. Public access occurs in two primary places, the first is Hoye Canyon, which has about a...

      No idea where the 36 figure came from. It was nowhere near that long.

    Played fishing guide for a visiting cousin last week. We went to my normal fishing spot... nothing. We went out on the boat at Topaz Lake... nothing. After a couple ...more days of this, the effort paid off and he finally nailed this beauty. Just shy of 3 lbs. Caught at dusk on the Walker River amid a fog of blood sucking mosquitoes. He earned that fish!

    2 lb. 14 oz. 16.0 in. Rainbow Trout with a Panther Martin

      Yeah, I'd rather avoid the crowds and hyper - regulations. I do very little bait fishing, overall, so that's not a big deal. I'm definitely a fish eater ...more though, so the catch and release thing is off putting. If the pressure is high enough to justify that, it's probably a little crowded for my liking. I prefer to see more bears than people at my fishing spots. haha

      The East gets lots more pressure. Mostly due to the trophy size trout. The East Walker is much more high profile - everyone writes it up. It's special regulations ...more though. No bait fishing, and mostly catch and release. Just too many people for me. Personally, there's too many rattlesnakes for me too.

      We went up into Hoye Canyon area. The side of the river with Hoye Canyon road on it is all private land, but the other side is BLM land. It's a bit of a hike, ...more but whatever. I haven't fished the east Walker yet, but have been kicking the idea around. Is it more crowded than the west?

      Nice!! Most folks fish the East Walker (big fish), but I like the West Walker. Have not fished it yet this year. Might be heading up there in a week or 2. Were ...more you fishing the canyon section or the slower water up near the Marine base?
