Like the Phoenix, risen from the ashes! We had just about written her off for the summer but the Bridge has come on strong near the inlet and channel on the Walker and especially on the drop-off towards Rainbow Pt. Stillwater nymphing in the channel or on the drop-off with chironomids like our Gillies, crystal emergers and tigers #16-20 will get you take downs and some chunky rainbows. We have more than one report of some huge (25 inch plus) browns being taken by streamer fishers in tubes trolling in front of the landing and along the weed beds of the Walkers channel. The Bridge has perch fry also, as well as a gigantic population of damsel flies and callibaetis may flies. More so than Crowley. This lake is historically about two or three weeks ahead of Crowley for turnover and hatches and the perch fry spawn earlier here due to lower elevation. It is peaking right now. Go see Jeffery at the Marina and he will put you on the fish.
