The water on the East is dropping and getting to flows that are easier to wade. If you are accessing from bridges for some evening fishing afterwork it is still a bit tricky crossing from bank to bank in some places without trespassing above the high water mark. Trout are just beginning to rise to dries but nymphing has been more effective. The dry fly fishing over the pmd hatch should be good out there for a few more weeks.
