The East is running at 225 today and it's been fishing very well this past week. There's been some good streamer action with all the overcast weather and thunderstorms we've been having lately. Zuddlers, buggers, double bunnies, jj specials and hornbergs have all been working. The nymphing has also been good with flashback emergers, WD-40's, zebra midges, silver streaks, disco midges and some caddis patterns like fox's poopah, la fontaines sparkle pupa, z-wing caddis and bh swimming caddis. Most fish are running in the 14 to 18 inch range, but there's been a good amount of 20+ inchers as well. The Rosachi is also fishing well on the Nevada side, all the same streamers as the Cali side are good choices and for nymphs you can go with copper johns, san juans, birds nests, princes and pt's.
