LP report: Trolled today for 4 1/2 hours. Windy and chilly until around noon then gradually went blazing hot. Fishing was spotty. One 16" slender bow and two kokes; a fat 15"er and another fatty at 14". All three on beer can pop gear followed by snubbered rainbow and pink flourescent apexes tipped with scented shoepeg at 30 and 50 feet with downriggers. Saw some well defined red arches and marked them; then kept going back thru on a racetrack pattern. Still very slow fishing. All fish hit on the easterly leg. Lost three others; two of those on a lead core dodger/apex setup off the center rear of the boat. We launched at the nearest dam ramp (good launch) found the fish up in the narrows just before the nursery waterfall cove. Water temp near dam was 48 degrees and up in the narrows it was 54 degrees; surprising variation. Great trip but slow; hits were an hour apart or more.
