Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Use long leaders and heavy surf rods to cast far out to colder water. Study a lake map to locate river channels and cast as close as possible to them.
Changes We’re Seeing
Trout are still being caught from shore, but reaching the deep, cold water is critical.
Predictions for Next Week
As long as anglers continue targeting the deeper zones, shore fishing should remain productive. Show some support for the lake during this boat-restriction period—it’s still worth the effort!
