It was critical to find the school of fish on the finder, and to troll right through the middle of them, turn right around and DO IT AGAIN!

Additional Notes:
• This is the very first year the Game dept. has opened up the lake for sockeye retention
• Noisy Creek is about 8 miles up the lake on the east side, right side (lake is only 9 miles from one end to the other
• I contacted WDFW and they stated they quit stocking the lake just before last weekend, and they anticipate closing the season soon

I wanted to thank Matt and Rseas for their feedback to my questions. There are some top notch members that contribute a lot of information to this forum.
