East Lake reports are good already with nice catches of browns near the shoreline, slow stripping leeches, damsels, scuds and callibaetis. Or hang a Red PT and CB Cate on an indicator in 8 to 12 feet.
Keep an eye out for Flying Ants! Beetles and Flag Ants and Hippie Stompers are already good.
Early season chironomid fishing is a strong choice, but usually in water 8 to 14 feet, and olive #16-18, chrome #16, red #12-18, black with red rib #14-16 are super good choices.
The resort boat launch with the dock opens 5/15. Peeps with bigger boats can use this for easier and safer launching than at the USFS ramps. I appreciate the people at East Lake Resort so much, they are a winning team and offer a super good product and service to the people who visit them.
