I was up there Tuesday and I don't think you'd be very comfortable wearing shorts and flip flops. It was a balmy 32 degrees when I launched at 7:30AM. It did warm up to 72 degrees when I left at noon. Water temp was 61 degrees.
I tried trolling some Koke gear early on and had one small hit but think it was a Cutt. There was quite a few on the surface so I tried using a small bobber and jig tipped with a worm. No luck there. Put on a black wolley bugger with a rabbit skin tail and a medium size split shot and that was the ticket. Surprisingly half the ones I caught were Rainbows about 13 inches long and quite plump. They fought harder than the lethargic Cutts that hardly faught at all. I probably lost more than I caught. .
