Justin and I headed up to East Lake Monday evening after work to see how we would fare. It was windy in town so I figured it would be windy up there, and the hunch was correct, no white caps, but it was windy. After launching the boat we headed over to the west shore in search of something, and we were met with nothing. 2 rises, a few lost streamers and 1 fish to hand.
We pulled anchor and headed off to the north shore to try and find some shelter from the wind and we were lucky to find some working fish all along that shore. Small callibaetis and adams emergers seemed to work well enough to get a few decent size fish. We fished till dark in hopes of luring one of the big browns but didn’t have any luck there.
All in all it was a good quick trip out. East is one of my favorites because of the numbers of fish you can generally catch on dry fly’s. It was a little cold and windy for the later hatch, but it was a blessing to get into some fish.
I love the first pic. Should me submitted to a magazine! Love you hubs!
