East Lake is one of the best places going now, with a great variety of fishing to enjoy from nymphs under an indicator, to dries during the hatch or conjuring up a rise to a terrestrial or using a variety of sinking lines to cover water with nymphs and leeches and streamers.
It’s early to see them, but callibaetis are already emerging on the lake! Stripping nymphs or fishing them static under an indicator is a great method. You could find fish feeding on swimming nymphs over the weed beds and shore lines and in that case a non bead head nymph on a hover or emerger tip is the way to go. Most days a CB Cate and Red Jig PT under an indicator is really strong. Look for fish in the 6 to 12 foot deep range. Hint, they are not always on the bottom so adjust the indicator to dial in the depth as needed.
Fish are looking up on the hatch and also responding to terrestrials and seem to like both ants and beetles about equally.
