here's my tip. Use a #5 rapala, hook it to a downrigger about 60' back and troll it 20-25' down.

It helps if the lake is deeper than 25 feet, otherwise the downrigger ball drags on the bottom.

This is what works for me in eastern WA when the air temp is around 100 and the water surface temp is running 80 degrees. 25' down is close to where the thermocline will be and that is where the trout should be hanging.
