Beschreibung des Ausflugs

Hello, I was fortunate enough to take three ladies from the Colorado houndsmen assoc fishing on May 17th. We ran north of Belmont Harbor Chicago (where I moore the boat), locating colder surface water. We set in north of Wilimette harbor where there was a big drop in temps. We caught a 3 person limit of 11 coho along with 4 beautiful Rainbow Trout. The largest each of the 3 ladies had ever caught. Various Stubby dodgers red, orange, fire dot along with various peanut flys worked well. The Rainbow trout hit surfice lures thin fins red w black squiggleys. Overall a great trip, we fished 25-45 feet of water from 2.5 to 3 mph.

People, I spend extra in gas to go where the fish are. I don't just take you for Lake Trout. READ ALL THE REVIEWS LOOK at the photos.... Yes its that time of year where most charterboats will take you out, get you your limit of Lake trout which is 2 and bring you in with your ((("LIMIT" of Lake Trout))). I spend an extra $100 per day just in gas, minimum, and take US where we can hunt for and catch Brown Trout, King Salmon, Coho Salmon and Rainbow (steelhead) Trout (Silver Fish) along with catching your limit of Lake Trout. You are able to catch 5 fish per person and I spent the hours that you booked doing just that. See the photos, my boat and I HUNT anbd target "Silver" fish, yes I catch Lake Trout too but we target SILVERS. The fishing has been fantastic all year for the most part. I have had several trips with 4 and 5 species caught. We've caught more brown trout than all the rest of the years combined and we focus our trips targeting silver fish.... look at my photos we catch fish. Last handfull of trips have been fantastic getting limits of trout along with many silvers including BIG Brown Trout 203 yr Kings, some coho and big Rainbow trout.
