Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Be prepared for a very tough kokanee bite and extreme boat and water skier traffic on weekends. Stick to weekdays for any chance at better conditions, and troll pink or orange lures deep.
Changes We’re Seeing
Water color is odd, and the lake is heavily stirred up from recreational boaters. Fishing quality has declined significantly.
Predictions for Next Week
No major improvements expected until fish start moving into the North Fork arm, which could offer better opportunities and lighter traffic.
