East Lake was very good this week with chironomids and terrestrials. Wading the banks with scuds, callibaetis nymphs and damsel nymphs is great for shallow zone fish, and certainly toss beetles and ants at them from the bank out, or from a boat inward. I know our guide Adison was on the bionic ant and the jiggy beetles with clients this week and on his own.
Hanging chironomids under the indicator is very good, plus play with jig red PT, CB Cate and balanced leeches from about 6 to 15 feet deep.
