The East is still running at around 340 cfs, the fishing down there is still a little tough at that flow but if you work the slower water and get your flies down near the bottom where the fish are mostly hanging out you should be able to have some success. The streamer action has been pretty good lately as well as the nymphing. There has actually been a few days here and there when the dry action early in the morning has been productive, this doesn’t seem to happen every day but if you time it right it might work for you. The stretch between the dam and the bridge seems to be producing the best lately, it also tends to be a little easier to wade and fish than the lower section. 

Recommended Flies:

E/C caddis, elk hair caddis, rainbow warrior, flashback emerger, silver streak, zebra midge, WD-40, buckskin caddis, z-wing caddis, deep sparkle pupa, san juan worm, squirmy wormy, shock collar leech, rubberlegs, slump buster,  zuddler, sculpzilla, peanut, hell razor craw, dead drift crayfish.
