Back in the late 90s I took my boys up to the bridge and caught a bunch of good looking Kokanee.
Around 2006, We tried to fish it in my 14 ft Smoker craft, and realized the lake is extremely shallow in most places, has a ton of milfoil or submerged vegetation and the wind down right sucks!
The combination made it useless to be trolling from a boat.
I did not try it again.

the wind thing makes a lot of sense..didnt know about how shallow it was.
might just drive the extra few miles to kachess, should be a little more protected from wind.

PM sent. X2 on the wind. Pretty impossible to fish when it rips across the lake. Which is often...
