East Lake without the docks is no longer good for me to launch the big boat, so my next excursion there will be with the Drift Boat. The resort has removed the docks for the season, and FYI the USFS is closing Cinder Hill on Sunday which is the most gentle and rock free ramps into the lake. Hot Springs is the best option, and EL Campground is decent with a drift boat
Callibaetis are dwindling quickly. Tis the season at 6400 feet. Beetles and Ants will remain good for the rest of the season until it gets very cold, and even then I will tell you of days fishing Beetles on the shoreline with snow falling and having incredible days.
Balanced Leeches, Tui Chubs, Olive Zonkers are great stripped or with an indicator.
Red PT, Double Bead Black, Chironomids (here is an educated guess on what to cycle thru: #14-18 Red Ice Cream Cone, #16 Black Ice Cream Cone with a Red Rib, #16 Hanging with my Chromies, #18 Olive Zebra Midge, #12-14 Blood Worm, #16 Assassin which is a Brown Chironomid with a Red Butt and a Black Bead. Its subtle and matches a lot of the “hatch” we see on local lakes)
