The East is running at 76 cfs right now. The fishing is still hanging in there. We've been getting some minor thunder showers in the late afternoons the last couple days so that's keeping the temps down a little bit. There's lots of caddis and midges hatching and there's also some cicadas starting to buzz around.

Dry/dropper rigs have been pretty successful, as well as nymphing with small midge patterns and caddis nymphs. Fish are biting pretty good until around 11 am then from 11 to 5 or so it's a little tough, then it livens up again in the evening.

The Rosachi section in Nevada is also fishing really well, we've had some very good reports from down there.

Patterns to try include: mercury midge, flashback emerger, micro mayfly, top secret midge, silver streak, rainbow warrior, fox's poopah, lafontaines deep sparkle pupa, 3-wire caddis, buckskin caddis, e/c caddis, elk hair caddis, para adams, chernobyl ant, stimulator.
