East Lake was seeing amazing Callibaetis hatches this week, but some of the days (maybe due to east winds) the fish just were not all that interested. I would put East Lake on the list this week as a strong choice as the winds should be favorable from the W and NW and I see no East Winds blowing in the Crater this week at all. I believe that Callibaetis hatch will go another 2 weeks or so. Sometimes it is better fishing when the hatch is not as intense. By the way, if you haven’t tried an Olive Haze for that hatch, add it to the box. Harrops Captive Dun, Almost Dun, Sparkle Dun, Grey Comparadun and the Extended Body CB. 
Chironomids, Blood Worms, Leeches, Balanced Baitfish under the indicator are good bets. 
Stripping Baitfish and leeches over the weedbeds with slow to fast sink lines is a great choice for fall fishing and working the shorelines with Scuds and Water Boatman is great from here to the end of the season.
