East Lake is fishing is good, and is going to be great in the next week I’m guessing. Why? Right now a ton of the rainbows are along the banks going through the motions of the spawn. Successfully? Probably not, but they have that on their minds. When that is over and they really get to feeding, it is going to coincide with the optimal water temps (we finally got out of the 40’s and into the mid 50’s, and it’ll hit high 50’s or low 60’s really quick now)
Chironomids are hatching great. Red on the bottom and black on the dropper is a good starting point. Chromie is a must for the box and to try every day.
Beetles and Ants are good.
Callibaetis are going to explode. Haven’t quite seen them yet, but it’s so close.
