The East is still running around 20 or 22 cfs these days though we have been getting some better reports lately with the warmer weather. It hasn't been red hot, but most anglers that are putting in some time and effort are starting to get into some nice fish. There are some skwallas coming off on the Nevada side periodically so that's producing some good dry action from time to time and on the more overcast days there's still some baetis coming off. Most anglers are still using dry/dropper rigs and that seems to be producing the most fish though we have had a couple good reports on streamers as well. Bottom line, it's not automatic down there right now, but if you're sneaky enough and have a good presentation with your flies you should be able to bag some fish! Patterns to try include flashback emerger, zebra midge, wd-40, top secret midge, rainbow warrior, silver streak, san juan worm, skwalla, herbie, stimulator, madam x
