Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Use pink and orange flashers and micro hoochies tipped with corn. Add just a light touch of scent like garlic or bloody tuna. Troll depths between 70 and 100 feet, but don’t be afraid to try deeper if you’re not getting bites.
Changes We’re Seeing
The kokanee bite is heating up, with consistent action and very high bite counts.
Predictions for Next Week
Kokanee fishing should remain strong for the next month to month and a half, maybe even longer. Conditions are ideal and stable, so plan to get out while the bite is hot!

Uncle Larry's Hoochies are some of the most productive squid-skirt lures in the kokanee and trout trolling category — vibrant colors, exceptional in-water action, and a proven track record on Western fisheries from Shasta to the Eastern Sierra. The hoochie skirt design produces a breathing, pulsating motion behind a dodger that kokanee and rainbow trout find irresistible at the slow trolling speeds their fisheries demand. Available in 18 color patterns covering the full range of bright, UV, and natural tones that produce in varying light and depth conditions throughout the season.
