Fished across from Speeylai bay and no action. We were flat lining and using down riggers 30-10 ft on the wire. We moved west down towards the dam trolling .9-1.7 mph with no luck. We picked up and went to the dam about 12:00, as we dropped down we noticed the 4 other boats around had nets flying. Our flat liner got bit then the down riggers at about 10-15 ft got bit. Good action for about an hour or so then died off. Used pop gear, sling blades, orange and pink mini squids and wedding rings.Finished with 7 Kokanee. Water temp 47 deg at the dam midday.

Keep the reports comming. I would love to drive down with my son and give this lake a try. Sounds like you managed to find some fish. Thanks for the report.

Sorry, I live about 2.5 hours away don't count on too many reports on this lake from me. I've heard about this lake for a while and decided to finally make the drive down there.

Lol....I understand I live around 4 hours away but I will make the trip down with my son in the next month or so. I am still working on trying to catch my first Kokanee, fishing American lake. I think the one major thing wrong is my speed so I ordered a trolling plate online to slow the boat down even more and made some adjustment to my speed sensor to make sure its accurate. Happy fishing.
