The fishing has slowed somewhat with the most consistent catch taking place out in 180 to 210 foot of water. This past week the creel consisted mainly of 2 and 3 year old salmon in the 5 to 10 pound range with a few 4 year olds mixed in. We got blown off the lake both Saturday and today, however the few boats that did fish Saturday caught from 1 to 7 fish and no one fished today.

What is working are flashers and flies with some glow in the dark spoons like the stingray size early in the morning. There was not any set color or combination that was better than any other, however most consistent was the Pro Troll Glow Frog, Silver Mountain Dew and UV Mixed Veggie flasher with any green Rapture fly. 200, 300 and 400 copper, Dipsy Divers at 150 and 240 foot and downriggers from 60 to 100 foot down produced.
