Great shore fishing here as lake was planted by The DFG two weeks ago and lake levels remain near 100 percent! Trollers finding mackinaw near bottom in anywhere from 80-100+ feet of water and using large plugs, flatfish, rapalas or swimbaits has been working well for them with the best window being early morning. Kokanee remain small here and aren’t often targeted making fishing pressure for them light for the angler willing to look past their small stature. For shore anglers powerbait, spinners, kastmaster and all the usual suspects have been consistent producers with the best window also being in the mornings. 98% off cap

RECOMMENDED GEAR:

Shore Fishing: Powerbait in Chartreuse or Rainbow, floating worms off bottom, small spinners or spoons.
Trolling: lyman plugs, rapalas, flatfish or top lining needlefish. Jigging P-Line laser minnows, buzz bombs or crippled herrings.
