You can troll for trout or whatever...

Look up Don Iovino (SP?) if you want to try for bass.

Kastmasters are fun on 2 or 4# gear.

Keep it coming. I will mostly be fishing for rainbow trout and maybe some brown I heard you can slaughter them in coves with a simple bobber and minnow or worm. I was thinking at night set up a lantern or 2 and try for some crappie and maybe some cats but the water may just be to cold to fish cats in coves?

my family has house boated there for 10 years now. me and my uncle would troll with depthfinders and kastmasters in silver set at about 50--70 feet. i love swimming in the lake during summer, it's not too cold at all, especially the days where its 108 in the shade. good luck.

recently had 2 family members die so i don't think we'll be going back there anytime soon, it'd be too hard. beautiful lake...

p.s. it's probably a bit low

Check out the link below for what's hot or not. The browns are usally deep so if you don't have the gear, consider a guide. Have had alot of success with Ben from Fish In Comfort.

Thanks guys. I got an email from a guide today. It looks like trolling Kastmaster in the 1/4 ounce in the blue and chrome and anything with a UV color will produce fish along with rapalas any idea what size rapala i would want to use?
