Best bet is the west side where clarity is much better. Released a couple rainbows in the 3-pound plus range. Didn't need a net, just got them up to the boat and “popped” them off. My dog just about jumped in after when I released the second one!.. Both fish hit the “Red Dot Frog” 1/6 oz. Speedy Shiner rigged down at 10 and 8 ft., 180 ft. back and at 2.7 mph....and a healthy application of the Pro-Cure Trophy Trout scent.

Fish are still keyed on Smelt. No sign of aquatic insect activity yet,
