I have never finished that lake but I have been on it many times with family. When you are there you must visit the north end, there is a large area that is too shallow for bigger boats and it is incredibly beautiful. I have finished cascade reservoir quite a bit and it is just 20 to 30 minutes trip south to Donnelly. Kokanee and perch are my main targets, the perch take all the standard offerings but I have great luck with Kokabow Fishing Tackle (a local company) but it might be a little late for the good bite now.
