The East is up to 590 cfs this weekend. It's running pretty fast but there are still some anglers having good success there.

The caddis are becoming more active lately. We haven't heard much about streamers this past few days, but small midges and caddis nymphs have been doing well. It's very important to get your nymphs down towards the bottom right now with the higher flows so don't be shy about adding plenty of weight. Also be sure to have a large enough indicator to carry that weight.

Buckskin caddis, fox's poopah, flashback emergers, san juan worms are among the patterns that are doing well. We haven't heard much from the Rosachi section in Nevada this week but there should be some fishable water even with the high flows.
