Slept in too late, but still hit the water on Saturday. We decided to pass on trolling for kokes and go jig for their consumers.....lake trout.

Lots of boat wake around Jarvies, but we managed to mark and stay on top of some productive schools. We ended up with 13 lake trout (up to 22 inches), 3 bows, 2 smallies, and 2 surprise kokanee. We were using Berkley Gulp minnows on 3/8 oz. jigheads. Most of the fish came from 60-100ft (deeper for the lakers, shallower for the others) off from cliff faces and points. They were pretty active and easily identified on the graph. Some of the fish hit on the first drop but others took some light jigging. In the canyon, the surface temps have cooled slightly to 68F, even though the daytime highs were in the low 90s.

Hope it helps, Ryno
