There was flow fluctuation this week but now it's back down to 22 cfs. The fishing has been pretty good, anglers aren't catching lots of fish but there's definitely been some real bruisers caught this week. Most anglers are reporting getting into between 3 and 7 or 8 fish per day and we've had reports of fish up to 25 inches being caught. Both the California and Nevada sides of the river are producing very nice fish. The weather has been rainy and snowy most of the past week and it's supposed to be that way for a few days this week as well. Nymphing still seems to be the best method though we have had a few good streamer reports and just a couple anglers getting into some fish on dries. Patterns to try include: flashback emerger, copper john, san juan worm, zebra midge, white zebra midge, rainbow warrior, pheasant tail, zuddler, jj special, seal buggers, zonker, blue wing olive, blue dun, stimulator and madam x.
