The East is running at about 163 cfs right now. The fishing has been a little tough for some anglers down there this past week but there has also been some anglers who have done very well. Over the past week the weather has not been too helpful with some colder temperatures and lots of wind but it seems to be leveling off and getting warmer now. The caddis should start popping again with the warmer weather which should trigger some good dry fly action again. Over the past couple weeks the good reports we’ve received have been mainly nymphing but we have had some really good dry fly reports as well as a few good streamer reports. The best dry fly action has been in the late evenings though it won’t necessarily happen every evening, some evenings the fish are really looking up but other evenings it’s still. The same goes for the streamer fishing, most of the streamer reports have been slow but here and there we get some good reports. Most of all if you stick with nymphing you should do well.
