Hi Fishoff thanks for the reply, I live in Vernon. I am going to be out there a bunch in April. I just got a jon boat with trolling motor. Going to try for the trout!?

First and only time i fished for trout was in that boat with my buddy and his dad when i was probably 11 years old... was a blast.. caught two trout.. he let me keep them... he hooked his dad's hat when casting and his dad got mad... was so memorable and such a great time...

that's one place i'd like to get out when my 'yak arrives... i dont' live too far so i imagine i'll be taking the trip after work!

Tons of places to fish on that lake in a yak. Once u get away from the beach in the summer, there are tons of coves with lily pads to hit.

I actually was out on the lake last Friday. Tried trolling with a sinking rap and also a dodger with worm. Nothing hit, Marking a lot of fish on the bottom. Do I need a down rigger to get to the trout? I also tried jigging with a swimbait and also a worm down deep, not even a nible? I did manage to hookup on a small LMB on the way in, throwing the sinking rap at a submerged log. hope to see you out there on the water in a yak or jon boat.

You don't need a rigger for WayWay, it's only 50-60 feet deep at its deepest, keel weights and or snap weights will get you down, one of our hits Thursaday was on a silver flutter spoon with 5/8 oz. keel 4 feet above it with 44 feet of line out sticking out the back of the boat, most likely a trout hit but we didn't hook it. If you use keels they are attached in-line and use a snap swivel on one end and a barrel swviel on the othe to prevent line twist and it makes it easier to change weights when needed.
