Lake surface temps are holding around 61 degrees. Some weeds are drifting around the surface but many locations are clean. Water is cloudy now that water temps are dropping. So far, using bright colors such as yellows, gold, red & greens as well as dark colors such as brown and black have continued to bring good action for trollers working the upper 6 feet of the water column in all depths of water. But we are going to see the water get even cloudier in the coming weeks. Be prepared to use an attractant. Garlic flavors have long been a favorite on this lake all year long while other scents such as tui chub can be seasonal. This is the season that many different scents work. The use of bright colored trolling flies and lures is worthwhile but we will all have to start leaving a scent trail to follow or make a little noise with sonic blades or beads to get a trout’s attention. The condition of the water will come into play when it comes to catching. Fortunately, this is temporary but can last several weeks.  Trollers continue to do well as long as they are keeping lines in the upper 5 to 6 feet of the water column.
