Sounds like you were there right before we arrived and camped that lake. Sounds like a great time. know what you mean about all the bass. I learned quickly how to find the deeper part of the lake but then again I quickly decided I wanted to target the Kokanee which everyone said were really hot. One guy using barb-less hooks caught and released 19 or so keeping his 5 limit. Oh and I saw tons of people coming in limited easy on them. I could not with no trolling motor and less control.You should try Mountain lake sometime. I think that place does not have any bass. Lots of trout and a local told me they stock it with jumbo trioploids. I only managed to catch a small cutthroat but they were surfacing all over. I caught the best fish near the red buoy and to the cliffs. Fished there 16th to the 19h.
