My plan was to get to the lake at 5:30am. But I hit snooze a couple of times so I didn't get there until 6:00 and fishing about 6:30am.
I was going to troll for a couple hours and then still fish if I hadn't got my limit.
I put pink lures on both rods and set one down rigger at 15 foot down on the rigger the other at 30. Then I varied them until I got a bite. The fish bite came after I changed the pink out and put on green for one rod and a Dick Nite Spoons 50/50 dodger with a Wannafish A Lure Gilded Lily on the other. At 7:35am on the north east side of the lake I finally got a bite and first kokanee in the boat. I was 23 foot down on the rigger in about 60 foot of water. I circled around a couple times to see if I can pick up another but it was not there.
I then headed over toward the green drift boats. I was just trolling one rod about the same fish catching depth on the downrigger as before and waved at
WidgeonmanGH/Huckleberry Meadows. As I did, I got another kokanee on the same dodger lure set up. I was at the southeast side of the lake, kind of. I trolled back around to see if I could get any more. Nope. So I anchored up by the green drift boats about 8:30 or 9, I think. I watched them get fish until they left with limits. Then I finished off my limit with Wannafish A Lure Still-fishing spinners in pink and orange. I think I finished about 10am.
The water temperature was 60 degrees. When I started it was sunny but about 9am the clouds started coming in as predicted. It was a little breezy. But nice day to be out.

My son and I went out for the third time this year yesterday and we were finally able get two limits. The first two times we were getting hits but struggled to keep them on the hook. Switched to corn yesterday from maggots and seemed to do the trick. Seems a lot slower this year than last May. Took over three hours yesterday - last year was half that...
