The East is still sitting at about 237 cfs and has been there for several days. The fishing is still pretty good too! There's starting to be some good streamer action as well as some dry action here and there in addition to the standard nymphing. As I've said before, one of the keys down there is to be flexible and be sure to change up your flies often. Some patterns that have been working are: flashback emerger, san juan worm, wd-40, zebra midge, pheasant tail, prince, rainbow warrior, zuddler, double bunny, jj special, sculpzilla, dead drift crayfish, para hopper, madam-x, chubby chernobyl, rubberleg stimi. The Rosachi section on the Nevada side is also fishing very well with many of the same patterns as the Cali side.
