Fished the Gorge this past weekend and had good success. We fished Red Cliffs near Sheep Creek and the Hideout area for Kokanee. We boated 17 kokanee in about 6-7 hours of fishing for both days. The water temp was 61 degrees and the fish were about 30-35 feet deep. The weather was cold on Saturday with mixed rain showers, even had a pretty good hail storm on Saturday afternoon. Sunday was beautiful in the morning, but we got blown off the lake about noon. Had great success with shasta products behind sling blades. The orange glow cripple lure, the pink headed koke-nut, and the fluorescent red humdinnger all landed fish. The best thing we found was the bright green apex behind either a 4/0 green jensen dodger, or a green and stainless small sling blade. Im sure we would have caught more fish if the weather had been a little better. I'll be back there again on the 30th of June.
