Its kind of shallow right out from Wayfarers. That whole bay isn't very deep. It gets deeper as you go around the corner(south), but by the time it really drops off, you're on private land. The place I would try and cast from is the docks at Blue Bay. I've seen people catch them off the Polson docks, and I was watching a thing on ice fishing this morning, and they said the lake trout like perch in the winter on the flats because it is the only time the perch can be caught by them. I say this because Polson bay is more or less a flat.
I do have a question for those in the know about the Wayfarers area. I was fishing Fall mack days, and Wayfarers was one spot we could fish without getting blown around(usually we fish around Gravel Bay) and I lost at least 5 lures in about 30 minutes trolling south of wayfarers. We were in 70-80 ft of water, and I couldn't have been more that 50-60 ft down. Is there some huge stucture in that little bay just south of wayfarers where the houses start? I was using leaded line so I know what my depth was pretty acurately. Call it paranoia, but since it happened so much, I wondered if maybe the people with the big houses put something out so that people got snagged up and didn't come back and ruin the view.
