The river is down to 69 cfs today, the fishing is still hanging in there pretty good. The fish are still feisty and seem to be plenty healthy. We've been getting some cooler night time temperatures and some cloud cover most days which is helping keep the water temps down. Most of the action has been with nymphs lately though there has been a little bit of dry action here and there. Small midge patterns like silver streaks, rainbow warrior, disco midges, flashback emergers and copper johns have been doing well. Also caddis nymphs like fox's poopah, buckskin caddis and LaFontaines deep sparkle pupa have been doing well. The Rosachi section on the Nevada side has also been producing very well for the few anglers who have been going down there lately.
