East Lake was good this week

East Lake was good this week, for me I saw a variety of fun ways to approach the lake and that is why I always like East the best. The lake just sets up so well for wind drifting, loch style, anchoring, dry fly match the hatch, dry fly terrestrials, indicators, deep dangle, stripping nymphs and streamers on a wide variety of sinking lines. Really there is no other lake that offers so much because of the variety of water accessible. And it is the top lake for shoreline wade access, one of the few in our region that offers good shore fishing. 
Callibaetis hatches for the most part were impressive this week. Beetles and ants were also very good. 
I’m finding some areas to be full of chubs, and that sucks, but moving to a new area is working to find some quality trout on callibaeits nymphs and chironomids. 
Water temps are just hitting 60-61F and the fish are in good shape. I am finding fish on the live scope in the deep dangle range out in 25 to 32 feet, and getting them on a duct tape blood worm. It’s not hot in that range yet, but if the winds are blowing to much for the indicator it allows a good nymph fishing option with some outstanding takes.
