I have to agree with MMDon. This lake is ridiculous to try and troll on. I fished it for the first time this week and all I did was catch planter bows and lose a downrigger weight and all my cable on the bottom. We were fishing by the dam in 65 feet of water and suddenly we were in 30 feet! Not to good when the weight was at 50 feet.
I went there because a family friend offered a cabin for the week. Not knowing any better, I brought my boat along. I soon found out that only around 10% of the lake is trollable because the rest is too shallow. I suppose it's a great play Lake but the fishing didn't impress me. I'll stick with Strawberry and the Gorge.
It is a beautiful place and Yellowstone was but fun the fishing wasn't for me.
Thanks curt69 for giving me some tips. Kudos to you for being able to catch fish on this reservoir!
