Successful Lures
A short early run produced nice rainbows—trolling Trout Trix Minnows behind a CA 4" Moon Jelly Dodger was the ticket. Adding scent helped draw strikes from more reluctant fish holding deeper.
Other Techniques
Focus your troll around depth transitions using natural presentations.
Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Trout are biting consistently when trolled using downriggers or diver rigs. Good time to book a trip while conditions are stable and the boat is already on the water.
Changes We’re Seeing
No major changes reported—bite appears steady and dependable.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect the trout bite to remain productive, especially with continued trolling techniques. Boat traffic likely to increase with warm weather, so plan accordingly for early starts.
