Was also up there this weekend. Fish are very scatterd, not picking up any schools. Really had to work for them. Rumor is Fish and game is worried they won't even get their egg quota out of there, they haven't been spawning in the creeks, been to dry. No one I talked to was killing them. There are fish to catch but it's tough.
We fished from 630-7 to dark with a few hour breaks, Never limited out. Lot's of trout but when you're kokanee fishing that's a trash fish. Tried every color and combo, fished the entire lake and never marked one big school. We would hook up at 55 feet and then get one at 20 feet 30 minutes later.
The road is OK, a small trailer is fine but a long trailer will be tough, you would need to clean the dead fall to maneuver and take some of the rough section slow.
If you plan on going and killing them with easy fishing like last year don't waste your time. Last year we would have 50 before lunch.
If you're wife doesn't want to spend 12 hours on the boat you wont be bringing a load home.
You will need down riggers or really know where your sinking line is.
