Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Upper Twin Lakes allows trolling year-round, so anglers can target big browns. As water warms, plan to fish deeper in the water column.
Changes We’re Seeing
Warmer weather will push fish deeper. The kokanee bite is still good, but fish remain small, so Wes hasn’t been targeting them.
Predictions for Next Week
Upper Twin Lakes is expected to fish really well as July arrives, offering solid opportunities for big browns. Wes plans to provide more reports in the coming weeks.

Recommended Gear for This Trip

Apollo Flies – Oversized Trolling Fly

Regular price $6.99 USD
Sale price $6.99 USD Regular price

The Apollo Trolling Fly is built large for a reason — big trout respond to big baits, and the Apollo’s oversized profile triggers the same predatory response from trophy rainbows that a large baitfish would. The generous marabou and flash fiber construction produces a dramatic pulsing action in the water that smaller flies simply can’t replicate, and it carries enough mass to stay in the strike zone at trolling speeds without helicoptering or fouling on the retrieve. Available in Pink, Sunburst, Black and White, and White — four proven patterns that cover the full range of light conditions where trophy rainbow trout feed aggressively.

Anchovy Bait Head – 2 Pack

Regular price From $10.66 USD
Sale price From $10.66 USD Regular price $0.00 USD

The Catch America Anchovy Bait Head is engineered to give you the natural roll-and-scent presentation of a cut-plug anchovy without the mess and inconsistency of working with real bait. Its UV Blue Violet finish enhances visibility at depth and in low-light conditions, while the precisely molded anchovy profile produces the same rolling action that salmon and trout have been keying on for generations. The two-pack format means you always have a fresh bait head ready to swap in when the action picks up or a hook change is needed. Available rigged and unrigged to match your preferred leader setup.
