Yup. No problem. Campgrounds are still closed, though.

That should be fun, please let us know how you do. I've been wanting to get back up there, the last time we were there we mainly caught kokes and I was hoping to get at least one grayling. Do you mainly fly fish? We tried slow trolling a fly and a bubble but we must've been using the wrong one.

Thanks for the info. We fished all along the East side, from the inlet to the dam, guess it just wasn't our day but we were not using any sinking line so that could have been it. Did a certain fly work better for you than another one?

Pheasant tailed nymph works good. Any natural small emerger fished real slow close to the bottom works.

Thanks much for the info, I'll give that a try on the next trip up there.

No, it's been a few years, since I was there but the last time I was there the kokes we caught were around 12"

Is there motor HP restrictions on S&M or just wakeless restrictions?

No other restrictions, other than it being wakeless.

How big are the fish you caught
RE: Smith and morehouse - Trapfish01! - 06-25-2023
Biggest koke 12 rest 9ish
Biggest bow 13
Biggest grayling was 12
Caught 2 grayling that size rest were all over
Caught the grayling on bottom going as slow as I could
The kokes wanted it close to the surface moving real fast.
Kokes would hit it like it owed them money and go airborne

That sounds like a great 4 hrs, were you fishing in the morning? Thanks for adding those details. Was there still a lot of snow around the lake?
RE: Smith and morehouse - Trapfish01! - 06-25-2023
Not that I noticed. Fished in the afternoon
