Son and I went to EC Friday 11 Oct. Got on the water just before 9 AM, and in less than 30 minutes, we had boated and released 6 Rainbows. Between 9 AM and 1 PM we boated and released a total of 12, lost 1 right at the boat gunwale, and had several strike and runs, then nothing. Day was beautiful, early partial clouds, but virtually no wind till after 12 PM. Still good ramp in the water, and docks still in the water, although it's a LOOOONG hike from the bottom of the ramp or the docks up to the wipe down area or the trailer parking. Depth at the end of the ramp was 2.5 - 3 ft. Once away from ramp, bottom dropped off quickly. At the end of the docks was 17 - 20 ft. and once out of the buoys depth went down to 40 ft. plus. Near the buoy line at the dam, still close to 100 ft.
All fish caught were 12-14 inch and were hitting Floating #7 Rapala Black & Gold or Black and Silver lipped crank baits, trolled long line behind the boat at 2.4 - 2.7 mph (GPS) (would guess they were running about 7-10 feet down while moving, and would rise in turns or slow downs).
