First I've been lurking for awhile and finally joined the board.  Ive really enjoyed reading yall's Reports.  I have a question for you veterans of the lake.  I grew in the Pacific Northwest fishing for lakes and streams for trout.  Our go to lures were Mepps spinners and small spoons, with all the reports i've read no one seems to be utilizing either of these.  Are they just not effective on Tany or did the fishery just develop as a jig fishery? would i be wasting my time coming up there and trying my tried and true techniques from the PNW?

Where in the NW did you live?  Spent almost 20 years of my life living in North Bend WA.

Never fished jigs at all for trout while I lived there, but if I go back sometime I'm going to pack some for the Yakima river catch and release area.  I bet those fish would eat them up.

This Spring when the water was coming thru the gates there was a group up at the dam really catching them on 3/4 oz white Dixie Jet flutter spoons.  I was going to try it but just did not find the time.

I grew up in the small town of Poulsbo on the olympic peninsula across the puget sound from Seattle.

I know where that is - nice place to live.
