I had similar observations on my last trip. Very few of the bottom fish took the bait in the deep water. Most of my fish were in the 25-30 ft range. I ran a tandem rig below my dodger for awhile with pink on bottom and orange above. All but 1 cutthroat passed by the pink and hit the orange. Both kokes hit on pink however. I second Kent's advice to recharge glow often. The action of the dodger kept tangling that setup so I gave up on the tandem. Both baits caught some, but it seemed to me that the cutts don't care for the gulp maggot nearly as much as they do a mealworm. I switched to the maggots to act as a sort of cutt repellent. I'm very grateful for any fish, but I was on a mission to catch a koke. Fun times trying to figure out fish
