East Lake is still a good bet but expect the ending of callibaetis hatches soon. But, be prepared for them too.
Beetles and Ants will continue to be good for dries, and keep an eye open for splashy takes that might indicate flying water boatman. This time of year chironomid fishing can become spotty but leeches and scuds can pick up that slack. Remember that launching most boats is now very difficult due to low water. Tubes & Pontoon Boats launch anywhere. Drift Boats @ Hot Springs. I heard they closed Cinder Hill which is a bummer if true.
