Lake Trout fishing is good straight out and North of the harbor. Try clean spoons off the down riggers, and flashers or dodgers with flys or spin and glows close to the bottom. Fish 40 foot down to the bottom for best results. Best colors have been purple, green, blue, and black. Start fishing in 80 feet of water and work your way out to the deeper water
Some salmon continue to be taken South, straight out and North of the harbor. For best results, fish clean spoons off the downriggers 40 to 80 feet down. Good colors have been silver, blue, greens and black. Also try some flashers with flys off the dowriggers or dipsey divers as well. Start in 60 feet of water and work out till you find where they are setting
Brown Trout are still being taken in close to shore working the 25 to 45 foot of water areas South of the harbor. Body baits and clean spoons are working, try perch, green, and blue colors…
Steelhead fishing is slow but should continue to pick up. Put out some long lines with the Offshore boards, try clean spoons, and body baits. Best colors have been bright orange, pinks, greens and yellows. Try some 2, 5, and 8 color lead lines as well.
If you want to try for some walleye try North of the harbor working in close to shore, 30 to 40 feet of water.
Try for the perch by the lighthouse or South by the cemetery using minnows in 20 to 30 feet of water.
Keep those lines tight!
