The East is still running at about 96 cfs and is still fishing fairly well. There's been a little more traffic on the river this past week with the water up a bit but they're still catching some really nice fish. The "Miracle Mile" section is showing with a few fish but down below the bridge and on in to the Nevada side has been better. There are lots of caddis coming off, as well as pmd's, bwo's, midges, trico's and some stones on the Nevada side. Most of the fish being caught are in the 16 to 22 inch range lately. Patterns to try include chubby chernobyl, madam x, stimulator, rubber leg stimulator, zebra midge, top secret midge, flashback emerger, white zebra midge, fox's poopah, buckskin caddis, lafontaines sparkle pupa, rainbow warrior, wd-40 and silver streak. The West is still running a bit high right now but the water clarity is good. If you focus on the softer pockets where fish will be hanging out you should be able to get into some good fish. Crawlers, power eggs and salmon eggs should work for the bait anglers, panther martins and rooster tails for the lure anglers. Fly anglers can go with hoppers, beetles, ants, elk hair caddis, humpy's and stimulators on top and prince nymphs, dark lord, pheasant tail and hare's ears on the bottom. www.kenssport.com (760) 932-7707
