Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Focus on deep water due to warm surface temps and bait holding near the bottom. Stick with proven color patterns (green, purple, white, pink) for hoochie combos. Be ready for some tough boat handling if the wind picks up.
Changes We’re Seeing
Kings remain scarce compared to rainbows. Wind has made boat control more challenging on certain days.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect continued deep-water fishing conditions. The guide is headed to the Klamath River next, so stay tuned for potential updates from a different fishery.

Uncle Larry's Hoochies are some of the most productive squid-skirt lures in the Landlocked King Salmon 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 Multiple color patterns covering the full range of bright, UV, and natural tones that produce in varying light and depth conditions throughout the season.
