Tortilla Creek and Fish Creek both have flowing water and I would guess Peter's Canyon probably has some, too. I bet Tortilla Creek has some really nice pools upstream from the 88 if it's warm enough outside to swim.

I would think they would all have plenty of water, the eastern supes were flowing strong.

Water had a great flow. I went in at Tortilla Creek just east of Tortilla Flat. Water was cool but not frigid. Traveled Tortilla up to the Peters Canyon "Y". I stayed in Tortilla up past Hells Fire Spring (not sure that's ther exact name) water was very plentiful.
Saw 2 Western Diamondbacks when using that trail that cuts over the ridge right at the begining next to the road. They were in the saddle with a bunch of quail.
It was a pretty good day out there but the kids couldn't come as they got sick.
With the amount of water I saw, I would bet it will still be flowing for a while yet.
