The trout are mixed in with the kokanee on the bottom at Mackay, very little with the kokanee higher up in the water column. To increase your chances of picking up trout at Mackay fish just off bottom. Moving just 10 to 20 feet off shore should weed out the kokanee. Over the years I have found a lot of trout cruise several feet just off of shoreline both early summer and during the winter.
In years past ice fisherman have had pretty good luck off from the dam and cliffs to the right. However, around the corner to your right from the cliffs is shallow and unproductive water, stay away from it.
