From the benchWith heavy rain and 20 mph ESE winds overnight transitioning to a full storm system Sunday, focus your morning session from a boat anchored on the south-to-mid-lake flats in 12–18 feet of water — this is where fish have been stacking. Run a long 15–20 foot leader under a large foam indicator with a balanced leech or chironomid set 12 inches off bottom, and let the wind chop do the work by imparting subtle movement. As the storm intensifies and surface conditions deteriorate Sunday afternoon, drop down to an intermediate or Type 2 sink line and slow-strip a Complex Twist Bugger or Cheech Leech along the deeper drop-offs in the Soldier Creek Basin. Post-storm on Monday, expect fish to be actively feeding as pressure stabilizes — that's your best window for big rainbows and cutthroat.
