Flows are down to 501 CFS. The East Carson is the closest thing we have to a freestone river in our area. What that means is there is not much control on the flows. Most of the water in the East Carson comes from creeks, springs and natural run off. More of the snowpack is gone now and the East Carson should continue to gradually drop. Although later than normal, this is what happens every year. It is still a little high but fishable. The next couple of months should be really good on the East Carson. You can fish it a lot like the East Walker going forward.

Maholo nymphs fished under an indicator can catch fish all day. Stripping just about anything in 10...... Read More
