I see many comments stating that there boat does not troll slow enough for bait/streamers. Not necessarily. IMO, you have to troll lures more slowly than bait/streamers.
When you see the locals trolling over 2-3 mph near the shoreline, you can be certain that they are pulling smelt/streamers. Think about how fast a bait fish is! I like the speed 1.5 to 2 MPH but the locals catch as many fish as anyone else. I have lived on the lake for over 27 years and the largest salmon (5+) was caught in July,noon time,90 degrees, 3 colors out on a bronze Mooselook. The moral is to get your rods in the water and enjoy the ride. You never know.
