Have been getting notes from quite a few of you wanting to know why they will not bite. Anytime they gush water out of the dam to make room for spring runoff, the fish up there (all fish, trout ,bass, kokes, crappie, etc) their positive riotaxes kicks in. Fish are designed that when they encounter current, they swim into or face the current. it is natural. look at late summer for instances when the lake is being drawn down. Most all of the larger fish travel way up the lake. Kokanee go first because the flow alerts them of spawning in the future. The bass and others ( Bull trout, larger rainbows) are right behind because of the food source. When the dam gets shutoff, which I hear could be next week, maybe a bit later, they will come out of their funk and start being fish again. hopefully this helps out. and makes sense
