Going to shuswap in August for ten days, already looking forward to it, bringing a 12' Lund and plan on doing some trolling, I know first light light and just before dark will be the best fishing since it is in the middle of summer, probably going to try some apex's and may b some Lymans. A couple questions, use a flasher of some sort or just the lure, also was thinking of getting a lake down rigger which probably only holds 3 /5 lbs, with blow back anyone know how deep I can drop it? Any help fishing this lake would be great, staying in Magna bay, thanx alot

If you get a Scotty lake troller DR, max depth is 100 ft, max weight is 5 lbs.

There are some great resources regarding Shuswap Lake. There are strict regulations so make sure and check those. Westside Stores in Salmon Arm is a great local resource for what is working and can help set you up. Also http://www.reelfishingadventures.net/ (http://www.reelfishingadventures.net/) has a lot of information regarding the lake, just make sure and turn down your speakers as the music on the website can be a bit startling if you aren't prepared for it. Downrigger at that time of year would be really helpful as the fish do tend to head to the depths.
