FLY FISHING SMALL STREAMS OF THE KERN
A great alternative to fly fishing the upper Kern is the small creeks that are flowing into the upper river. Get out your 2 or 3 wt fly rod and explore and discover some amazing fishing. The creeks and fish are healthy and doing well. Check out the video and pictures below.

UPPER KERN FLY FISHING REPORT
The Upper Kern River is definitely running strong at approximately 8,000 CFS. The upper Kern River is blown out and not fishing well.
SOUTH FORK OF THE KERN
The south fork of the Kern is blown out and not fishing well at this time.
LAKE ISABELLA
Recent stocking in Lake Isabella of 5 to 10 pound trout has produced some nice fish this week in Kissack and Paradise Coves. These are leftovers from the Lake Isabella Fishing Derby in April. Look for these fish to be heading into the north and south forks of the Kern real soon.
With the Upper and Lower Kern pushing the limits with record breaking flows, we are fortunate enough to have an alternative location to fish: Lake Isabella. With the massive influx of water, which we have not had in the lake since May of 2007, these conditions are bound to create a healthy habitat and grounds for the fish to become extremely active. At the present time, here you will come across trout, bass, crappie and even carp, which are a challenge to land on the fly!
FORKS OF THE KERN
With the current flows and forecasted run off, it is going to be a couple of months before we can even access the Forks. In the meantime, try hitting up some of the smaller streams, creeks and tributaries running into the main Kern River.
