Fishing has been excellent. It rates four fish, or the best!

Trolling. Wee Dick Nite Copper Red, Sockeye Slammer Fire Tiger Size 2, Needlefish Red Dot Frog. The water has warmed up on the surface, so, fish are a little deeper than last week. We checked the lake and found lots of large fish almost everywhere at a depth of 14 to 20 foot range, with the larger fish holding about 20 feet. When trolling, we have experienced the best results, if we tie our lures directly to the line, then about 150 feet behind the boat; trolling at a speed of 1.5 to 1.9 MPH.  We used a down-rigger to get the lures to the depth that we wanted; but split shot can be used equally as well. Limits "PLUS" can be caught!
