Flows have increased on the Upper Kern River
By Allen Bushnell,
2026-01-02Flows have increased on the Upper Kern River, which is scheduled to receive another trout plant next week across a 20-mile stretch of river. Anglers are finding success with slow presentations using salmon eggs, and trout jigs, while fly anglers are doing well on nymph patterns during the morning hours and blue-winged olive patterns during afternoon hatches. Next week’s stocking is scheduled 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, while catfish activity has slowed, though fish are still being caught on dip baits, nightcrawlers, and cut baits. At the time of reporting, river flows are 1376 CFS on the Upper Kern and 676 CFS on the Lower Kern.
