Hi Mike,
We have been trolling warts out in front of the launch. We head straigh accross from the launch. Then head up the lake(river) trolling about 10 feet off of the bank it drops off steeply on that side. You will continue up you will go around a small corner where you cant see the launch anymore. You will see an antenna on the shore make aloop heading back down. Their is a stump on the corner go half way accross the river then turn right headed back toward the launch. You have to be careful with the section of the lake above the launch it is really shallow to about half way accross up to where that stump is. You can see the bottom. When you launch at the ramp head straight out or slightly down from their. Their are some dead heads just out from the ramp. I used my small 11 foot zodiac and had no problems. Their were also boats up to 20 feet . I just didnt want to tow my boat that far. We found Solid colors worked best (orange, pink) but also had luck with crome and orange or red or What ever. Now if your not in a boat. I would throw spinners from the shore. They were also catching them using eggs below a dink float in the shallows above the ramp. Good luck By the way the directions on you washingtonlakes.com work perfectly.
