We trolled for trout last year at salmon falls creek. Usually do it at lucky peak. trolling with the big motor on a bass boat ( I know it looks and sounds funny ) dragging a rapala with a 1/8 or 1/4 ounc weight above a swivel about 2 feet above the rapalla. change the speed, circle, or zigzag to change depth. Color patterns that always work at lucky peak....blue/chrome rapala.....orange/gold rapala. I hae used these at strike also. at salmon falls we used a perch pattern jointed rapala, and could barely keep the trout off the line. just went in a big circle in the same area and caught about a dozen in a couple of hours. I have thought about getting a downrigger for kokes, but catching trout trolling is not that difficult, and the wife can nap till she gets a bite...
