Comments: Got out by 11:00 am, fished north dam, did not mark any fish, fished trout alley by 1:30 marked a few fish no hits, by 3:30 fished the drift from rangers cove out north, marked fish close to shore no hits,  by 4:30 fished south dam, marked many fish , caught 2 lakers on 2 drifts and lost another. Very windy.  I wonder if cold front moving in triggered strikes from fish.  I guess I'll never know.  good fishing. C.

Comments: fished from 5:30am-10:30am. Became to hot by then and had to quit. Beautiful morning and sunrise, but only 4 other boats. Caught 3 lakers ( 21-23-22 inches ) and two rainbows 16-17 inches. All fished were released unharmed and appeared to be in good health. I trolled  between 45-55 feet down all over the lake. Fishing was good up to 9am then it slowed for the last hour. Lake is low but had no problems launching. Haven't been to the valley for about 2 1/2 months, which is a long time for me. Felt good to be out again..............................................................................................

Comments: Lake was calm as glass. Hardly any fisherman. Caught 4 fish, 3 lakers, 13 to 17 inches and 1 brown trout, 12 inches. I saw numerous schools of bait fish (presumably herring), sometimes with fish breaking the surface. Lake looks bad with water missing, but hopefully its only temporary. Concrete ramp is usable, but you run out of cement.
