Update - 9/15/2008
East Lake Resort is now closed for the winter. We will begin answering and returning phone calls in mid January of 2009. Online reservations for the 2009 season will be available to the public starting in October; book your cabins and RV sites as soon as possible as they fill up quickly. The largest brown trout caught and verified in 2008 was 30” and right at 12 pounds. This fish was released for someone else to enjoy next year. Kokanee fishing stayed good throughout the summer and continued good up until the spawn. The fly fishermen had one of their best years ever, in spite of a lack luster Callibaetis hatch. East Lake continues to be one of the finest fisheries in Central Oregon, producing fish throughout the summer months. Thank you for all of your support in 2008, and we look forward to seeing you at the lake in 2009. Thanks again. Your hosts, David and Kathy Jones.
