I don't know Cascade - so forgive me if I speak out of turn.
But in general - warmer summer waters push trout deeper. If you're wanting to troll - lots ways to get it down.
Leadcore line, dipsey divers (or other divers). Riggers offer precision depth control, and amongst Koke seekers - they're well loved.
If you run with Pop gear - that can help draw your lure down. Weight - snap, slide, bottom bouncers - can all do the same. Course you can just get out and jig too. Maybe slow drift with some weight enough to keep it down deeper.
Probably your best zone would be the thermocline where the warmer water floats on the colder water - and there's a zone of cool, but oxygen rich water that marks an ideal habitat for our slimy friends.
I tend to find perch hugging bottom where a dropoff shelf lies. Perch can be a lot of fun when you find a bunch of 'em. Drop shot-ing can be killer.
Good luck. hope you get into some!
