Had the family outting Saturday afternoon on a floating pontoon boat and we decided to troll around and see the lake while the weather was so great. Honestly didn't expect to catch anything in the middle of the day. The time was roughly 1:30 pm to 5pm on the water but the fishing was probably 2:30 to 5. We caught a very nice and healthy Kokanee on a wedding ring that had a single hook with a few white power bait floating eggs on it with a small weight about two feet up the line. It was about a pound and a half, very fat healthy fish, biggest kokanee I've seen from that lake. I caught a very small rainbow and a small largemouth bass trolling a sinking rapala rainbow minnow. After about 3:30 we didn't get any more fish. I ended with 8 bites and 2 fish on that rapala.

We were out there enjoying the weather and just cruising around, we weren't trying hard to catch fish and I was amazed they were biting at that time of the day. I'm looking forward to going back there, the water seems to be down nearly three feet so it's opened up a whole lot of forage and weeds, I'm expecting the bass fishing to be great.

I'll send an update and try to get a few pictures if it is :)

Also there were several people out in the personal pontoon rafts trolling flies in the afternoon. One guy caught a couple small trout back to back but I couldn't tell what fly he had on, sinking set up is all I know.
