Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Stay persistent even if the bite feels “off.” Soft bites mean you’ll lose some fish, but keep grinding and you’ll land quality fish. Use chrome killer corn Keep your gear running between 25 and 75 feet and follow marks on the graph.
Changes We’re Seeing
Fish were biting very softly this week and coming off the hook frequently, even after long fights.
Predictions for Next Week
Despite the weird bite, fishing should remain strong for kokanee, trout, and crappie if anglers keep at it and run proven gear and depths.
