Melanie and I went up to the lake to try out the "Evie Kay" for the 1st time on the lake. We have fished it a 1/2 dozen times in the canoe but hadn't taken the actual boat yet. Imagine our surprise at the low levels which obviously have been that way since at least last summer. Spillway problem? I imagine that has to be detrimental to the river during drought conditions, when added flows would lower temps. And what about the folks that recreate there? Water skiing with stumps! Melanie thought we were at Lake Shasta or something. Fishing was great, I caught a 28 1/2 inch steelie trolling with ultra-light kokanee rod, chrome in good shape, a hatchery fish. Jumped totally out of the water, tail walking, never had a steelhead come out of the water like that.Also caught a gorgeous 22 inch one. Melanie caught a nice cutthroat, I'll stuff that with crab tomorrow. Smaller rainbow was really nice on the grill last night. Bob R
