East Lake, Whats going on???

[benny boy]

Alright Ladies and Gents,
Heading to East this weekend (Saturday morning) and am wondering what the fishing has been like. We traditionally fish it for rainbows/browns/kokes by way of still fishing or jigging and have always done well.

I have been reading the reports here and there and it seems that some nice fish are being caught. Anyone been there recently? What are the fish looking like (Length/weight (fatties???)) ????

Not looking for anybody's spots or secrets just want to know what we can expect! I know we will catch em!!!! Hope everyones fishing has been great this year, and I look forward to finally fishing my favorite Oregon lake for the first time this year!!!!

The wife and I were there last wednesday, we caught some nice browns and bows trollingflashers and homemade spinners(wedding rings) in green and red tipped with corn and woor. Others were doing well jigging for kokes most fish caught were on the west side hope this helps GOOD LUCK!

The browns have slowed way down. I was there last weekend and mind you I fish for large browns. So a good day for me is anything over 5 lbs. IT ONLY TAKES ONE.
I fish the lake at least 4-6 times a month and my neighbor fishes it at least the same amount each month.
I fished for seven hours last Friday evening and got one 20" brown. That was the only take down all evening.
My neighbor fished it on Saturday all day and did not get one brown trolling.
They did catch 4 small ones while still fishing along with 40-50 kokes.
There were at least 20 boats on the water Friday night and the trollers were picking up fish and the bait fishers were steadily putting out nets.
I was up there the week before and got 3 small ones between 16-19".
Generally I will pick up 5-10 in this size range while fishing for larger browns.
So if you are going for kokes rainbows or smaller browns you will do very good.
If the big browns wake up post on here and I will run up.
