East Lake is pretty good

East Lake is pretty good, and bound to be much better in 7 to 10 days. Why do I say that? My feeling is that a lot of the rainbows are attempting to spawn now, and that they focus on the sex drive more than the fishing. Browns are not, Brook Trout and Kokanee are not, and not even all the Rainbow Trout are trying to spawn, but a lot are and it changes the fishing a bit for another week. 
Scuds and Chrironomids are the best, and Callibaetis hatches are off to the races. Fish the cycle of the hatch on CB’s, especially nymphs either stripped over the weed beds and bank shoals, or under an indicator in the same places. Ants and Beetles are never a bad choice here!
