The water temperature was 65 degrees and the air temp was about 60 but it was mostly cloudy with a drizzle that drenched.

We fished from 8:30am to 12:30pm.

The fish came from surface to 15 feet on the downrigger. Crappie have started chasing the trolled lures. My son caught one sized 10 and 5/8 of an inch. Our trolling speed was 1-1.6 mph.

It appears that the fish were interested in the lures but not many were interested in the hooks. While we only caught a few there were lots of trout/kokanee looking.

Of the two kokanee I caught one was clipped one wasn’t. The big one had an intact adipose fin.
Full pool is 1207 it was 1205.99.

Hi Toni. Thanks for another peek at the fish below. Could I ask the scent and brand you were using since it didn't seem to entice much bite at all? Appears (from watching some of your other videos) that the dodger color and speed doesn't matter much, just to be able to attract them from afar. Then when they close-in--- the lure action AND scent gives the strike. See a lot of lures with spinners and some that just sparkle, though in deeper water that is not contributing very much. I noticed most lures use the dodger's action rather than their own- have you ever used bent spoon lures with a dodger before- for Kokanee? Thanks, Gary.

Thanks for the report. Was planning on exploring there this week if I can get my truck running.

I have never used a bent spoon lure. I don't know what they are. I use mainly spinners. The blades make noise on the spinner, too.
This day I started out with tuna scented corn and gulp maggots, then fire corn, then just shoepeg corn and gulp maggots. Some ignored the bait while others smacked the same bait that others ignored. My son added night crawlers to his.
