Fished both the morning and evening bites on 4/28 and 4/29. Lake was packed with boats which is common on opening day weekend but it was unnecessarily frustrating getting around people that decide to anchor up in the channel between the shallow end and the deep end while simultaneously avoiding the grumpy bank fishers.

Noticed alot of people trolling pop gear which is in my opinion, completely unnecessary for clear water. Visibility was incredible.

4/28 AM - Caught 1 - 12" Rainbow on power bait off the bottom in 26 feet of water
4/28 PM - Caught 3 - 10"-12" Rainbows on power bait off the bottom in 28 feet of water
4/29 AM - Caught 3 - 2 - 10"-12" Rainbows and 1 - 14" Cutthroat off the bottom in 28 feet of water
4/29 PM - Caught 2 - 10" - 12" Rainbows off the top on a bobber with Gulp Corn (LOTS OF ACTION!)

I've always had success with Power Bait for the first part of the season and this was no different. With the heavy stocking this year @ 14,000, I'm hoping they get nice and fat for my next trip up. I plan on switching to flies after the lake turns.
