Hit the lake for the first time this spring and it was a bust. Seen alot of fish on top of the water, but just couldn't get them to hit anything. I'll wait 2 weeks and try it again.

Craig, sounds grim, but it still was better than work Did you try any flys on the top? I have had great luck with a wooly bugger on a bunch of lakes the last two years and I am still green at the fly thing. Thanks for the report. old skier here

I hit Lake WA on Saturday with the same results as yourself Craig. Lots of sockeye smolt boiling but no cutthroat action.

Try flatline trolling a needlefish way behind the boat! Try different speeds.

Try trolling any lure that is the same size and color as a coho smolt near the surface.
Thats why the cutts are there is to eat the Coho smolt coming down the creek from the hatchery. Lots of line out and slow.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll give it a try next time out.
