Small midges & caddis nymphs are the best flies on the East Walker right now

The East is running at 90 cfs today and is still fishing pretty well. The weather is starting to change and mornings are much colder than they have been. This has made it not quite so necessary to be on the water super early in the morning, 9am or so is when those fish are starting to get active as opposed to 7 or 8am. We're still using mainly small midges and some caddis nymphs though the streamer action is on the rise. Patterns to try include rainbow warriors, silver streaks, buckskin caddis, Fox's poopah, black beauty, copper john, pheasant tail, hare's ear, moal leech, zuddler, zonker, sculpzilla and dead drift crayfish.
