Summit is Hot!

[Randy B]

3 of us hit Summit lake again on Sat. Started fishing at 7:00am and had 3 limits by 12:30, and lost at least 6. There's a 90ft deep spot just in front of the 1st cove east of the ramp, thats were we did the best. Kok's are still deep 55ft to 70ft. We also caught bigger kok's this trip, most were 13" to 14".
All were caught on Victoria's Tackle Secret's extreme x-1 and x-15 spinners behind Shasta Tackle sling blade dodgers and a Dick Nite 4" in blue.
Best colors were blue, purple and black and white. Slow trolling speed was best 1 to 1.3mph. We also 5 trout which we released.

Excellent looking fish. What's the secret?

Nice Randy!

I might tear myself away from American one day this weekend for a change of scenery. I've been successfull at that spot also, fishing from the point, to the middle and back to the ramp.

The lake looks pretty clear, with no algae bloom yet! Did you happen to notice if the water temp was consisitent throughout the lake?


Thanks for sharing,

Hi winterrun,
The water temp was up to 60 degrees at mid day in most spots. The water clarity is good but not as good as 2 weeks ago, so the bloom may be starting.

Fallriverguy...the secret? Finding the right trolling depth, for us it was 55ft to 70ft and has been for my last 2 trips.
Finding the fish, a high end fish finder is a must for Kokanee, I use a Furuno 586L. We did catch a few fish out in the center of the lake but the best spot was in the area I wrote about in the above post.
Lure color can be very important and changes from day to day, you need to have a wide selection of colors in your tackle box. I run different color lures when I first start and switch to what ever color is catching the most fish.

If your asking what's the secret to my tackle click on the Victoia's Tackle Secret's ad on the right of screen, once there click on the about us section at the bottom of the page to see what makes our tackle unique, it's truly the best tackle on the market today.
