East Lake was also a highlight in the lake world this week for us. Here, the callibaetis are hatching well and are very important in all stages from nymphs, to emergers, duns and spinners.
Damsel nymphs (carry the adults too), beetles, ants, leeches and chironomids are all fishing well.
We’ve been doing a lot of dry fly fishing this week, but indicators with a callibaetis nymph, chironomid, balanced leech and scuds is great, and bring a Hover, Intermediate and Type 3 sinking line for stripping or wind drifting leeches, callibaetis nymphs and damsel nymphs.
