The fishing on the EW is still pretty good, we've had a couple warmer nights but it's back down to the low 30's again last night so that's helping the water temps. The flow is at 55 cfs today. Lots of good dry action this past week, both on the Cali and Nevada sides of the river. Haven't heard much about streamers yet but the dry and nymph action has still been good. We've also had some really good reports from the lower stretch down below the bridge so don't discount that area. The Rosachi has also been producing some really good numbers of fish if you want to go fish the Nev side.

Patterns to try include: dead drift crayfish, elk hair caddis, e/c caddis, para adams, zebra midge, midgeling, micro mayfly, san juan worm, mercury midge, buckskin caddis, fox's poopah, 3 wire caddis, bead head caddis, la fontaines deep sparkle caddis.
