Alright....when the temperatures drop and bass fishing gets tough...you have to switch things up a little bit. So off we went trolling for trout. We were pulling the Rapala jointed BX at about 2 MPH. Had the down riggers at only 5 feet, just to be sure the lure got down off the top of the water. And we hit a big one. 5lbs 9oz. Stay in the upper section of the lake from Rainbow Bridge to the Banner where they turn you around below the dam. It's a narrow chute, so pay attention. There are many submerged boulders that can cause some trouble if you're not keeping your eyes out for them. The bite window is definitely early in the morning. From sunrise to about 9 am. After that, it's time to go get a good breakfast somewhere....
