The East is currently running at about 125 cfs and is fishing very well. We’ve had lots of very good reports coming from the lower sections of the river, past the bridge on Hwy 182 and on into Nevada. We haven’t heard much from the upper mile section where the fish kill occurred and are still recommending fishing past the first mile either on the California side or the Nevada side of the border. Below the bridge the water temps are good and the fish are healthy and very active. There’s been some good dry/dropper action with the lower flows as well as nymphing and we’ve also started to get a few good reports on streamers. Early and late in the day still seem to have the best action but there are some fish being pulled throughout the day. Some patterns that we’ve been hearing about: dea drift crayfish, sculpzilla, silver streak, rainbow warrior, perdigon, picky eater, darth baetis, micro stone, naked chubby, madam X.
