Yeah are going up on a Monday, there is three of us and we are all on vacation. As for what to bring and what to catch I really don't know, none of us have been up there before. From what I hear there is pretty good bass fishing but I couldn't tell you about the trolling.

Change of plans, we are now going to gate 43.

I've been once. Trolling for Salmon is possible given the right conditions, time of year, etc. (all of which I am not an expert on). Lake Trout can be had in the deep spots. Lots of small mouth bass (and I can only assume a tone of large mouth too) in the shallows. There are also rainbow to be had. Do not know about Pickerel.

Bring your binoculars. If you spend some time you'll likely see a bald eagle or two.
