Lake trout are biting great around Antelope Flat, North Skull, Jarvies, Sheep Creek and Buckboard, with smaller fish 20 to 80 feet deep and big ones at 60 to 100 feet. Kokanee anglers are limiting at 40 to 70 feet on pink or purple gear. Rainbows and cutthroat bite at 15 to 50 feet in coves; smallmouth are shallow.
Statewide, kokanee must be released from Sept. 10 to Nov. 30. Horseshoe Bend cut can no longer be used, and dropping water may expose unexpected submerged hazards.
