The East is still running around 270cfs and has been there for about a week or so. There were a couple of tough days this week but the fishing was mostly pretty good. Small midges are still the best way to go but we've also had some good reports on streamers and there's been a few periods of time where the dries went off pretty good as well.

FLY PATTERNS:
Fly patterns that have been working lately include zonkers, zuddlers, JJ specials, hornbergs, micro mayflies, zebra midges, silver streaks, copper johns, blue winged olives, para adams and chubby chernobyls.

If you're down there throwing nymphs keep your eyes open for some lips on the surface and be ready to switch to dries, especially if the weather turns sour.
