Trolled April 1 with no bites. Shallow and deep. Trolled March 31 also, had one fish to the boat before it shook loose. No other bites.

Why is it that reports about American Lake, between January 1 and March 31, are declining?

2014: 15 rainbow reports, 18 kokanee reports - - - total 33
2015: 20 rainbow reports, 17 kokanee reports - - - total 37
2016: 10 rainbow reports, 9 kokanee reports - - - total 19

Why do you think are there only half as many reports this year compared to last year?
Has the lake produced poor catches for most fishermen this year, as it has for me?
