No reports?? I am in the same boat.....thinking about hitting up this weekend as the weather is going to be sweet! Last year in July 90 degrees we got full limits of fish what a day. If we do go I will post a report hope you do the same. The lake has been sitting at close to full pull for some time now so that should help.

Arrived at Alder lake @ 6AM on Monday only to be greeted by a locked gate!!!
7AM a parks worker showed up to let all the restless fishermen into boat launch area.
We motored through the log-boom area and started trolling.
2 downrigger rods and 2 surface rods.
Ended up getting 5 or 6 Kokanee and 2 cutthroat... i think and a few drive byes
22-feet of wire using a pink splatter sling blade, pink hoochie with silver smile blade tipped with Berkeley gulp maggots smothered in Mikes kokanee scent trolled at 1.8 MPH was the far most effective for us.

Nice job, we went down to the park Sunday to check things out. Very very busy and saw lots of boats both fishing and running around playing. We will be making a trip out there this week or next!!

That was the biggest one of the day.. i would say he was about 13 inches.. which is rather large for this lake at this time of the year.... the other ones were 8-11 inches.. & the cutties were small.. 8-9 inches or so. Small but fun!
