East Lake is fishing really nicely

East Lake - La Pine, OR (Deschutes County)

East Lake is fishing really nicely with callibaetis in all phases of the life cycle important at different times of the day. Callibaetis Cate and Jig Red PT, Poxyback CB, Extended Body, Comparadun, Sparkle Dun, Almost Dun and Gallops Spinner and CDC Spinners will cover it. 
Beetles, Ants and Hoppers are solid. 
Deeper indicator action or even deeper Dangling are good bets with Chironomids and Leeches. I’d also marinate a Chub/Minnow down there and see what grabs it.
