My son and I took the boat for a few turns around the limited open water, extending from the dam up to the mouth of the canyon. Lots of anglers had the same idea, and there were about a dozen boats out (jigging, trolling) and another dozen or more shore anglers lining the Mustang, Sunny Cove, Cedar Springs, and Visitor Center access points. We talked to some other anglers as we were pulling the boat, and overall fishing was slow. Boats are launching at both Cedar Springs and Mustang ramps.
We trolled up a couple of small rainbows. We didn't establish much of a pattern either. We caught one of the rainbows on a Shad Rap running at 13ft behind a planer board and the other on a silver spoon running at 45ft. We trolled through some lake trout hangouts, and only came out with a few hits. Water temp started at 36F and was 38F when we left at 1:00pm. Air temp was a balmy 55F and the wind was calm(???), making for a great day on the Gorge.
Hope it helps, Ryno
