Mostly nymphing still though there has still been a little dry action here and there and also we've had a couple good reports on streamers. Patterns that have been effective include rainbow warrior, copper john, flashback emerger, zebra midge, buckskin caddis, BH swimming caddis, wooly bugger, dead drift crayfish, elk hair caddis, para adams and E/C caddis. The water temps are in the mid to high 60's depending on the time of day, the fish are happy and healthy and as the season moves on I expect the fishing to just keep getting better. The Rosachi section in Nevada is also fishing very well, mostly the same patterns as in Cali, plus there's been some good dry/dropper reports.
