Kokanee are starting to pop along the south end of the lake, with schools holding between 50 and 75 feet. Some are already stretching to 14 inches, and there’s word of even bigger fish starting to mix in up to 18 inches. Best results are coming on Flashers pulling Wedding Rings.

Lake trout are a mixed bag right now. Some days they’re chewing, some days you’ll grind for every bite. Live bait has been key, whether you’re trolling, jigging, or drifting between 85 and 120 feet. A few double digit fish have been landed in the past couple weeks, so the size is there.

Rainbows are cruising the shallows, and browns up to 5 pounds are showing, but the cutthroat scene has gone quiet. Most of the trout bite outside of macks is sitting up high in the top 30 feet.
