Concentrate at 50 to 90-foot depths over structure. With fish moving into shallower water, another effective technique is long-lining a rapala or flatfish on monofilament. The lake trout limit increased this year from three to four fish, only one over 28 inches. Flows are 1,000 cfs, with no fluctuation. Except for emergencies, flows should remain at this level through the winter.
Fishing is good, and pressure has been light.
Fall baetis are dropping off, however midges continue to provide surface action. Streamers have produced some large fish, especially during overcast or stormy periods. Effective patterns include brown, black or olive woolly buggers, Zonkers and minnow imitations, size 2-6. Last report was fair to good fishing for Browns. Trout have moved and now accessible from bank or boat.
