The flows on the East have been moving up and down a bit this week and are currently at 144 cfs. The fishing has been pretty good, we've been getting the best reports lately on dry flies. There's some good pmd hatches in the morning then as the day wears on they're switching to caddis. There's also been some good nymphing during times when fish are not rising. Haven't heard much about streamers lately, lots of bugs in the water so this is to be expected. Fly patterns to try include: E/C caddis, EZ caddis, elk hair caddis, Fox's poopah, 3-wire caddis, buckskin caddis, tailwater tiny, zebra midge, silver streak and rainbow warrior.The flows on the East have been moving up and down a bit this week and are currently at 144 cfs.
