In the spring, the dolly’s tend to feed on small salmon fry emerging from the streams, and in the fall, they AN will feed on pieces of saimon carcass. SR Bystrom’s preferred lures are medium to 7&8 large spoons and spinners, and says cast- ing out from from shore or across the stream from a boat are two effective tech- niques. During the summer, Bystrom explains that the dolly’s will generally inhabit deeper water, and he recommends trolling deep, with large spoons, wedding bands or spinners, such as the blue fox. He added that the lake is also popular for ice-fishing as well.
