East Lake Fishing Report
8-20-2022
The Fly Fishers Place
East Lake reminded me of the good old days this week with fish coming up to Callibaetis emergers and duns during the late morning and early afternoon. When the hatch action was over we switched to wind drifting callibaetis nymphs on an intermediate line with good success over the weed beds. We have a new callibaetis nymph at the shop that is tied with olive marabou for the body and thorax and a peacock herl wing case that has been very good for me at most of the lakes this season and by far is the pattern of choice at East now.
Mattias, Drew and Joey found a lot of fish eating damsels, some on the adult but most on a hot beaded nymphs under an indicator. If you’re in the shop and run into Joey, ask him about his “ITALIAN” special strike indicator. It’s a strange one indeed.
