East Lake is a winner now!

East Lake is a winner now and doing it with leeches and streamers from the shoreline is a darn good way to connect with really nice fish for the next weeks the road remains open (usually early November). Launching a boat is a challenge if it’s going off and back on a trailer. Hot Springs is the best area for that. With a boat I would fish the North side from the Cliffs to the Red Slide. You know me and Beetles….
Also balanced leeches and an Egg Dropper. Kokanee spanwers have the trout wanting to eat eggs. 
Wading the shore from EL CG to the White Slide is a top choice for fall. Add some scuds to the fly box and try under the indicator and stripping hover and intermediate lines and keep your type 3 handy for fast striping a minnow.
