The East is still fishing pretty well

The East is running at about 192 cfs right now, it’s still fishing pretty well down past the bridge and on into Nevada, the temperatures are in the mid 60’s lately and the fish down there are still very healthy. the water has cleared up quite a bit since last week and it seems as though the fish kill we had a couple weeks ago is still not affecting anything below the bridge. We haven’t really talked to anyone who’s fished the upper mile section but it’s likely not very good yet and it may take several months for fish from the lower stretches to find their way up to the mile, it’s difficult to say how long that will take. For the time being we’re still recommending to fish the lower sections and the Nevada sections where the system is much more healthy. Some of the flies we’re hearing about that are working: perdigon, pheasant tail, copper john, silver streak, rainbow warrior, picky eater perdigon, and we’ve started to get a couple decent streamer reports with sculpzilla, dead drift crayfish and ziwi’s.
