Decided to hit Echo yesterday while it still has enough water to launch a boat. We left the dock at about 10 AM, left at around 2 PM after the wind kicked up. Start to finish we had relatively steady action on 16-18 inch bows. However, they were not aggressively feeding. It was short-strike central. I hooked all but one on a stinger trailing a baited spinner, and all our fish were caught between 25-40 feet on downriggers. We had plenty of tire kickers nibbling on the flat lines we had out, but zero hookups. Color did not seem to matter. Every pole had a different setup and color combo, and each pole had about the same amount of action.
