Flows have increased along the Upper Kern River
By Allen Bushnell,
2025-12-26Flows have increased along the Upper Kern River, where stocking took place last week throughout the 20-mile stretch. Anglers are finding success using slow retrieves with salmon eggs, worms, and crickets, while fly anglers are seeing good action on nymph patterns during the morning and blue-winged olive patterns during afternoon hatches. Last week’s stocking occurred in Section 4 from Powerhouse #3 to Riverside Park in Kernville, Section 5 from Fairview Dam to Lazy River Lodge, and Section 6 from Fairview Dam to Johnsondale Bridge. On the Lower Kern River, the bass bite remains fair to good on crankbaits, jigs, and spinners. Catfish action has slowed but fish are still being caught on dip baits, nightcrawlers, and cut baits. At the time of reporting, river flows are 1,170 CFS on the Upper Kern and 303 CFS on the Lower Kern.
