With this lake at maximum capacity and a great population of kokanee this year this lake has been the top producing lake of the year for boat anglers and we expect to see it stay this way through fall. With some bigger kokanee up to 17 inches now showing, anglers are recommended to release the smaller ones and hold out for the large fish to fill their limits which shouldn’t be a problem given the great fishing here. Shore fishing for trout has been best in the mornings and with the high lake levels anglers are able to spread themselves out increasing the chance of not seeing another angler all day, a rarity for this time of year! The smallmouth bass fishing remains very steady here as well and will be best from mid-day through the evening. 100% of Cap.

RECOMMENDED GEAR:

Shore Fishing: big spoons in gold or silver, large Rapalas or floating worm off bottom.
Trolling: top lining needlefish, humdingers, apex or Rapalas. Downrigging lyman plugs, flatfish, broken back Rapalas. Jigging P-Line laser minnows or buzz bombs.
