Calmer winds should make for better fishing

Once the wind stops blowing the fishing should pick back up.  You will want to try fishing in the deeper water for Lake Trout.  Try North, South and straight out of the harbor.  Use the  Dodgers and Spin and glows fished right down on the bottom.  Try medium and large size spoons off the downriggers as well.  Try purple, pink, yellow, green, and black colors.  Work the 70 to 150 foot of water areas.

There should still be Salmon mixed in with the Lake Trout try using medium and magnum size spoons off the boards and downriggers from 40 to 70 foot down in 70 to 150 feet of  water.  Try adding Tadpole weights with spoons off the Offshore boards to get the lines down deeper.

Steelhead should be out on the color lines in 80 to 150 feet of water, try the new Offshore Tadpoles on with your monofilament lines to get them down deeper.   Use the bright colors for best results.

Perch fishing is slow, you might try South of the harbor by the cemetery in 25 to 50 feet of water with minnows.

Walleye fishing will be slow till the water clears a little, try off the North wall early morning and late evening casting small body baits and spoons.  Try the green, purple, silver and blue colors.  Also try trolling out in the areas where the water starts to clear in 60 to 80 foot of water North of the harbor with crawler harnesses, small spoons and small body baits.

Some nice Bass and Pike are still being taken inside the harbor and close to shore casting small body baits and spoons.

Keep those lines tight,
