With the cooler weather the fishing on East has gotten a little more friendly to those of us who prefer to target fish in the shallower areas of the lake or on dries. On some days the best fishing is still in the deeper water with long leaders and deep nymph rigs, but fish which …
It’s the same story as it has been on East, which is fishing fairly well for those fishing deeper water with long leaders and slip indicators. The fish in East have seen a wide assortment of flies this year, and have gotten pretty picky. Fly selection has become an increasingly important factor as a result, …
We’re seeing more of the same up on East Lake, with good fishing to be had for those who are willing to adjust tactics and target fish in deeper water with subsurface flies. The most productive way to get into fish has been fishing deep below an indicator with Callibaetis nymphs and Chironomids. It is …
Right now we are seeing more of the same up on East Lake, with educated fish moving towards deeper water and becoming more difficult to target on the surface. There continues to be good numbers of Callibaetis and Midges with some Caddis hatching throughout the day, but look to the nymph stages of each insect’s …
While the half-day hatch windows and effortless dry fly days of fishing East have passed as we’ve moved into the hottest days of summer, there is still excellent fishing to be had for those willing to adjust strategies in targeting fish. There is still a good Callibaetis hatch most days up on East. The hot …
East continues to be one of the best options for those looking to fish the lakes of Central Oregon. The Callibaetis hatch has been consistent, but getting fish to take a dry has become quite difficult on most days. In the right situations a good cripple or spinner pattern on 6X will bring fish to …
Although the fishing on East has become a little trickier and the trout a little more weary, the Callibaetis hatch has been strong and fishing has been good. Dry fly fishing can be good, but nymphing has been the most consistent way to target fish through the day and during the hatch. Bugs typically start …
The Fall has been fishing very well for those able to find the areas of concentrated fish, which certainly has some relation to the ODFW stocking schedule. Do a little hiking to find fish, and don’t leave them to find more until the action slows down. Attractor nymphs have been producing good numbers of fish, …
While East has continued to fish well things have changed a little in the past week or so. An Easterly wind has pushed many of the fish out of the shallows, where they’ve been gorging on the amazing Callibaetis hatches we’ve been seeing, and into deeper water. There are still fish in the shallows but …
The Callibaetis hatch on East has been very consistent, making it the go-to option for those looking for consistent action and opportunity to throw dries on the area’s lakes. Fishing under an indicator in the morning is a good way to start the day, and should provide plenty of takes as the Callibaetis ramp up …
