Nice one.

I fish for them.  Frog needle fish is about all I ever use.

Looks like a blast. What kind of depths are you targeting? Do most guys run leaded line or downriggers? I have never fished the big lake except for sockeye.  I might have to take the family out to try for them when I get my kicker motor fixed!

Most that I have caught in the last two weeks are about 20 feet down and in about 25-55 feet of water. A lot of guys use downriggers but I don't use those. I tried a homemade downrigger and it sucked. Then I tried a Luhr-Jensen Jet diver and it's pretty decent but when I used the lead core line I find it easier to fish with and I fight the fish not the diver. This little one in the attached photo was caught using a jet diver in deep water. Another technique I like is using a 2 oz lead banana on the end of some braid as a sliding weight, then put a long top shot to the lure.

Needlefish about 2.5 inches long with something white or brass colored also work well.

Cool. My brother makes some spinners that look very similar to the one in the picture. Do you prefer the sling blade over a standard kokanee dodger or does it seem to matter?
