With water temperatures rising, the bite has cooled off compared to earlier in the season. Trout, along with a few salmon, are still around, feeding sporadically on bug hatches, but their main food source now is the oily baitfish known as Japanese wakasagi (or pond smelt). Some anglers are finding fish by trolling slowly in 40-50 feet of water with worms or spoons, while others are following bird activity, easing towards the edges of where the birds are working, and tossing Rapalas or vertical jigging. The east side of the lake has been the most productive.
