The flows are way down on the East right now, about 26 cfs. Unfortunately we seem to be about a month ahead of normal on the conditions down there as right now it’s more like August conditions. The water is getting pretty warm but we have still been having some night time temperatures in the low to mid  30’s which has helped a lot. There were also some evening thunder showers this past week which helped as well. Right now the fish are still healthy and from reports we’ve been getting are releasing well. It’s best to fish early and late in the day so as to not stress the fish too much, we’d recommend fishing until 10 or 11 in the morning then start up again around 6 or so in the evening. The action has still been pretty good down there with a couple good streamer reports coming in this week as well as a lot of dry and dry/dropper action. Straight nymphing is also good though it’s a little bit tricky with the low water. The caddis are hatching daily and there are a lot of cicadas hatching as well, this makes for some really fun action on top. Some patterns to try: chernobyl ant, madam x, foam dead stone, chubby chernobyl, para hopper, zebra midge, flashback emerger, radiation baetis, perdigon nymph, zuddler, sculpzilla, dead drift crayfish.
