Be sure and put a Kokanee line back as well. Seems like dodger and plastic squids off down riggers worked, I think I would hit Fins and Feathers bait shop and see what guys are using, maybe get some numbers there as well.

We had a cabin there and had it figured out then the indians claimed we had to buy an indian license in addition to the already pricy state one. So we quit fishing the south end and didn't catch very many after that. We always caught them at 30-35 feet this time of year. White flasher with crystal flash and prism tape, 54 inch leader to a needle fish in brown trout color that we painted the gold side an off white/tan color. Put the flasher 25-30 feet behind the downrigger ball and troll 1.8-2.0 MPH. That is pretty much the same way we catch kings on the Columbia except substitute a Brads bait cut plug with tuna.
