Stop worrying weather to go east or west or north or south just get out there and fish if one trib is no good try another and so on till u find what u are looking for dont rely on other people to point u on the direction
Looking at loofs for Lake o water temperature. East is going to hit the 55° mark sooner. But from fishing the west tribs almost exclusively I now you just need to go there and try. They can be on fire one day and empty the next. Good luck
