Currently flowing at 936cfs. Above Hangman's Bridge - With Opening Weekend come and gone, Fish have been stocked but flows are High!! Catch and release section below Hangman's Bridge: The East Carson tends to really slow down during the high water.

Nymphing with small baetis and Stonefly patterns is the best bet during this time of year, Or running big Streamers in Black or Olive. Try Fishing the slow tailouts and deeper pools, and the water's edge with large Stonefly and large baetis patterns. For dries: Wouldn't even think about it.
