The East was bumped up to 400 earlier this week. It took a day or two to settle down but these last couple days has been fishing ok. It's a bit tougher with the higher flow rate but it's definitely not un-fishable. Add some weight and use a larger indicator and you'll be in the game!

Small midges have still been doing well and there's also been some decent streamer action. We haven't heard much from the Rosachi this week, but we have had some good reports from the Sceirine so I'd expect the Rosachi to be fishing well also.

Fly patterns include zonkers, zuddlers, moal leeches, jj specials, silver streaks, zebra midges, micro mayflies, flashback emergers, gt emergers, san juans, etc.
