An early June outing to Tacheeda yielded countless fish, but none of them keepers. Turquoise water of 57-59F was obviously turning over with the presence of vegetative debris throughout the water column. Bait balls were noted at 50’ but individual fish were scattered. A strong southern wind of 7kts made trolling in small boats difficult, so anglers had more success fishing shallower sheltered bays. The top water troll produced fish almost instantly with conditions often becoming annoying for the angler in search of a meal. The usual suspects of high flash jewelry attracted most fish, but the use of a snubber and “something special” on the hook were absolutely essential to land them. Ultimately, this gorgeous lake provided a few hours of fun, but this angler will have to figure out the secret to bigger fish before they return.

Great fishing for rainbow! I did get one small Kokanee but was able to release.
