I don't know what happened to my last post but I'll try again.
My partner and I will be there Monday also and should be launching from the SPM(State parks marina). If you launch from the SPM you can go straight out into 75 to 85 ft. of water and try for the macks and cutts. The jigs you use at the Gorge should work but you will need to use some bait to do good. Cisco,whitefish,sucker and carp meat will all work but cisco is probably best. Predator is right about it being tough because of the cisco spawn, those fish are chasing the cisco but that doesn't mean you can't catch fish. Check out my post on fishing at Bear lake on Monday. I think you might be better off trying to catch some cisco, if you have a dip net? If not, go out to 35 to 40ft. and try jigging, try using
a small kastmaster in gold or silver and jig constant up and down because most cisco that are caught are foul hooked. It is legal to catch foul hooked cisco but anything else you catch like that will have to be released. BLM and RNL might have some other ideas but good luck and if I see a couple of guys in a 12 ft boat I'll stop by and say hi. WH2
