The East is down a bit to 643 cfs the last couple days, it's fishing pretty well though you still have to pick your water carefully.

Caddis nymphs and small midges have been the go-to flies as of late. Buckskin caddis, fox's poopah, lafontaines deep sparkle pupa, rainbow warriors, flashback emergers, zebra midges, wd-40's have all been doing well.

Focus on the seams, foam lines and back eddy areas where fish are hanging out, don't be afraid to add some weight to your flies to get them down. We've been fishing 3X leaders with 4X tippet to the dropper flies, this will give you a chance to hang on when you hook one!
