Flows are prime now and should stay ideal until the summer heat sets in and the water demand increases downstream. Until then, anglers willing to search a little are finding some good productive water. Overall, fish seem to be holding low in the deeper pools but as insect life picks up and spring creeps in, there should be a few rising fish to cast at soon. Flows will play a big part in how well the EW will fish over the next month. Nice weather matched with prime flows can make for a really good time. The river has been and will continue to be stocked this season as flows allow for it. Spin fisherman should focus on deeper water with bright spinners and small spoons. Fly fishing has been good with nymphs under small indicators or high-sticked in deeper runs. Light leaders and tippets can turn a good day into a great one with lower flows.
