East has continued to fish well, with good numbers of Callibaetis providing excellent opportunity to fish dries. Mornings have been slower, and fishing small nymphs and Chironomids under an indicator is our preferred method until we see decent numbers of Callibaetis, typically around noon. Once the Callibaetis start to show themselves fish have been quick …
We’ve been getting nothing but good reports from East Lake in the past week, and it should be as good a time as ever to head south for East’s famously consistent Callibaetis hatch. The past week has brought about some of the first consistent bug activity we’ve seen, and the fish are hungry gorging themselves …
Fishing on East Lake has been fair to good. Some days are better than others but overall there are good numbers of fish being caught. Chironomids and other nymphs below an indicator have been producing fish, and retrieving leech patterns and wooly buggers should also provide some action. It’s still a little early for any …
Early season on East Lake can be a blast. Big fish are coming into the shallows to get their grub on before heading deep. A few guides have been out there and have had some great success. Fish tend to be on the move searching for food after the winter months. There a plenty of …
One of the best times of year for fishing at East Lake is when the kokanee start moving towards the shallows for spawn and the trout follow them! We are noticing that kokanee are not totally out of the depths or pushing into the shallows yet. This should happen anytime. This has caused the Fall …
The fishing up at East Lake has been pretty decent, despite the colder weather, water clarity and water temps. Seems like it takes awhile for the fish to start moving and eating, so being there super early is not necessary. The callibaetis hatch came off late in the morning and lasted for some time. A nice …
The fishing at East Lake has been great! The weather is nice, the smoke is there, and so are the crowds. At least over the holiday weekend, they were. There have been several nice callibaetis hatches come off through the day. The morning hatch coming off as early as 8am and last for about an …
With the resort closed, a road condition report was hard to gather. East Lake is open year round but access may be limited. Check through odot for current road reports. In the early season expect to see productive action with streamers along the east side of the lake, just south of the day use boat …
The fishing at East Lake has remained pretty decent throughout August! The smoky sky and the eclipse crowds over the past few weeks have left East Lake rather empty. It seems as the terrestrial fishing has pretty much shut off for the year. We are focusing on deep water chironomid fishing at this point. We …
Crane Prairie- The water temps on Crane are definitely starting to rise. Fishing early in the morning and late in the afternoon can be effective in the shallows. If not, fishing the channels during the heat of the day will be your best into getting into some fish. Make sure you check the weather report …
