If you want to catch lots of feisty fat Rainbows, now is the time to do it at Deer Creek. I caught 40+ 12-18” Rainbows with a 16” average today. I got them on my Kokanee gear going 1.5-1.7mph in Rainbow Bay, using my down riggers, down 5’ and 8’ with 100’ set backs. I tipped my hooks with night crawler or gulp maggots both worked equally well. I’m pretty sure you could catch them trolling anything right now. Lots of boats out there today.
