Took a friend out to Lake Cavanaugh for my first trip to this lake. Had lines in the water by 9 am. Trolled various Kokanee gear all day and didn't hook a single Kokanee. Caught 10 cutthroat, released 8 and gave 2 to my buddy that looked like they wouldn't survive catch and release before calling it quits. Marked and caught most fish over by the islands. Trolled 4 lines at various depths but only the trout were biting. Saw lots of fish surfacing when the winds were calm. 3 other boats out. Nice views of the snow-covered peaks in the horizon. Seems like tons of trout opportunities here but not so much luck on the salmon for me. Water temp was a brisk 38 degrees.

Hope to try later when the weather warms!
