I fish the north basin almost exclusively due to my proximity to the Kenmore ramp. Juanita Bay, Arrowhead Point, the western shoreline from Sand Point north to Sheridan Beach can all be productive year-round. All that changes is the depth I fish. Around 60 over 90 feet in mid-summer, as shallow as 15' in the winter. Lately I've been finding my fish at around 25 to 30 feet in 40 feet of water. Another school of thought is to stay along the weed lines close to shore and troll within 5 feet of bottom.

I have fished the bridges a few times, but have not had enough success to bother running that far. I've heard that the east channel can be very productive and is often sheltered from the prevailing winds, but have not tried it for trout. Great for sockeye in years past, though! Here's hoping for a fishery this year!
