East Lake is fishing very well as we transition into late summer. Callibaetis remains a solid hatch from mid-morning through early afternoon, with another burst at dusk. Subsurface, rippers include balanced leeches, Callibaetis nymphs, Red PT Jigs, Damsel nymphs, and Scuds under an indicator. When the wind dies down, expect surface discipline—small dries like Blue Chubbies, adult Damsels, and ants or beetles are getting aggressive eats. Early morning midge action still offers high-quality grabs for those using ultra-light tippet and pointed presentation.
