Anglers continue to report excellent brown and rainbow trout fishing at East Lake; however, low water levels continue to make launching larger boats a challenge. Anglers should keep an eye out the second brood of callibaetis while chironomids remain important in deeper water, and beetles and other terrestrials continue to be important near shorelines. While not known for its kokanee fishery, kokanee at east lake are running 13-15 inches. Open to fishing all year. Catch and release for tiger trout.
