The East is flowing right around 95cfs or so now and is still fishing pretty well, as long as you go downstream of the “Miracle Mile” section. There are plenty of happy fish on past the bridge on Hwy 182 and they’re taking streamers and nymphs pretty well. It sounds like nymphs with a little flash in them like perdigons, rainbow warrior, tailwater tiny, copper John and silver streaks are all doing well and for streamers it’s been sculpzilla, Dali Lama, dead drift crayfish and ziwi’s. The Nevada side of the river is also fishing very well with mostly the same patterns as the California side. We had some pretty cold weather for a few days but now it’s been cold in the mornings but pretty nice during the day. This time of the year it’s not necesary to get out there super early and you should be able to pull some fish throughout the day.
