East Lake is one of our best places to fish currently, and hopefully this trend continues all month! Sometimes July can get a little off at East, but August often bounces back as one of my favorite times to be on the lake. 
For now the callibaetis hatch is going well, and fish are eating all the stages. Chironomids under an indicator on stripped slowly on an emerger tip is a good method. Beetles and ants on the shorelines has been consistent and is a summer staple for me. I will be at East Lake 5 days this week, so if you’re there say howdy and let me know how you’re doing.
