Trip Summary
Trip Summary
I went out by myself this mornning to scout (find fish) and see what was biting. The Lake was like a big bathtub with waves going in all directions this morning. Big rollers left over from the last couple days of high wind and a chop on top coming from diff direction. Therefore it was interesting to find a good line to troll that the fish wanted to hit. We did it and found some decent lures and depths and should do OK next couple of days. However, it does appear that it slowed a little or the fish had lockjaw... not sure which. We did get 4, 2 trout and 2 salmon. The coho are big and meaty and the trout are too. Fish seem to be a little deeper 125 to 168 FOW, down 70 to the bottom. I hear there are still a few big kings around but none today for me. Good luck if you give it try otherwise give me a call and book a trip today!
