East Lake continues to be good, and the 2nd brood of Callibaetis is beginning and should be with us through mid-september. I love this hatch and so do the trout. 
Damsel activity remains strong and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to fish nymphs on the bank lines (wading is best for this) and dries. I like extended body damsel adults and also blue chubby’s. 
Chironomid fishing in August is great. Usually Red #14-16-18, Bloodworms, Black #14-16, Olive #16 and Chromie #14-16 will do the trick. Look for that to be best in 15 to 18 feet.
