East Lake is picking up steam with better hatches and more active fish. Callibaetis are showing up strong mid-morning to early afternoon, and trout are on them. Stripping nymphs and soft hackles near drop-offs and weed lines is working, and suspending balanced leeches or red chironomids under an indicator is a solid daytime plan. Ants and beetles are also pulling fish from the surface when the wind is calm.
