Mackinaw

Are there any good lakes for makinaw in eastern Washington? Or is the closest one Priest?
I hit Loon lake today for the second time with no luck. Last time i had a big quickfish that trolls at about 40 feet. I had good luck with it at Flathead lake earlier this year but no results at Loon. This time i was using my new down rigger. I tried a much smaller quickfish, a fly, a squid rig and a spoon. All with no success. I was marking some big fish on the depth finder, though I guess they could have been schools of Kokanee. Most of the fish i was marking were between 30-50 feet. I primarily trolled this depth, but I did also troll the bottom at around 70 ft.
Anyone had any luck for Macks on this lake or any others in eastern WA?
