The East us running at about 31 cfs right now but the weather has still been pretty mild so there's no ice or anything down there. There hasn't been much traffic down there lately, just a handful of anglers each week. There's been some good action with small midges and nymphs, a little action with streamers and some spotty action with dries. The best time of day to fish right now is usually from about 10am to 3pm, depending on the weather and temperatures. The water is low, typical for this time of year, so you want to search out the deeper pools and runs and focus on them, sometimes (also depending on the weather) there will be some fish holding in shallower water so keep your eyes open for this. Patterns to try include: flashback emerger, biot midge, wd-40, zebra midge, top secret midge, rainbow warrior, copper john, dark lord, san juan worm, para adams, BWO, blue dun, zuddler, moal leech, zonker and JJ special.
