What a difference a week makes? That tough transition phase bite seems to have Sandy Creek in its grip. Sat AM Great screen 60- 140 fow. Plenty of hooks to fish and an amazing amount of bait everywhere you turn. We have been wondering all year where all the bait has been well, the wind on friday blew it all off the beach and out to deeper water and it was everywhere. I mean everywhere. Tough to compete with all that bait around? Not sure but either way tough bite out there. 8 bites total for us all morning with 7 to the net. Mix of steelhead and lakers sharing the same waters. We pounded the water with flasher/ flies early and had some luck with both a 200 diver pulling a Green Halo spinny and halo fly and a 450 copper pulling a Capt valium spinny and green killer fly. But today all these fish wanted were spoons. Halo, mixed veggie, Hammer, to name a few. Riggers and 10 color leadcore were the winners today. Monday AM Sat down in 40 fow with plans to fish Brownies. Surface temp 57 and bottom temp 51 degrees. Pulled a few little kings in 50-55 fow in the first hour or so and slowly pulled out. The bait had almost disappeared entirely next to what we saw on Saturday. We spent the majority of the day 80-100 fow targeting the zooming fish that were 20-40' off the bottom. 13 total bites for us with little Kings and Lake Trout dominating the day. These fish only wanted DW SS spoons and so as the day would prove, every bite came from a super slim. super glow, halo, mixed veggie, moon cricket, and a few others. 10 color leadcores, deep divers 150-200, and deep riggers took all of our fish.

The great fishing from Sandy Creek continues. Certainly we are well into a transition period at this point. 58.8 degrees on surface with bottom temps in the high 40s and as much as 14 degrees different at times. Seems like an endless supply of green water too. We may be through our June transition before June even gets here. Some bait even began to show up out there. Friday morning... Weve done well in 100-125 fow water for the past week or two so there was no question of where we would start looking on Friday morning. Great pick of fish all morning long, straight out front in 100-115 fow from the pump house to Cowsucker creek. Our catch was a bit Laker heavy with about 1/3 of the catch Kings. A very similar set to last weekends... 300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly 300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly 200' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly 240' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly 70-90' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator" 90-105' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator" 55-70' rigger w/ grn dot Spin Doctor and a "Legacy" fly (early am) 55-70' rigger w/ DW SS frog 45-60' rigger w/ mupped Stinger hammers 450' Blood Run copper down the chute w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly We totaled 36 bites for the day with 28 making it to the net. Big fish for the day were 3 lakers over 15# and 19# King. Only 1 double all day. The opposite of last weekend, we had a larger class of Lakers and a smaller class of Kings (most under 10#). Saturday evening... Took a boat trip Saturday evening on a recon mission for Sunday morning. The only consistent thing I found is what we fished on friday. We quickly boated multiple Lake trout including 1 over 16# on rigger Spoons and Blood Run coppers pulling DW Spinnys. Took a look out to 200 and never saw a screen that i liked so we headed south and the fish showed up again inside of 120 fow with the best screen of the night in 80 fow. Sunday morning... We left the dock and fearing heavy boat traffic we headed west to Devils Nose in 85 fow looking for a screen to fish. Very consistent Laker bite w/ an occasional King mixed in 90-120 fow. Once again we left fish and headed north again looking for a better King bite. Besides a couple of fish in 176', we never really found what we had hoped and 2 hours later we returned to our 110' depth and it was game on. Dbl on Kings followed by a triple on fat Lakers (17#, 15# and 12#), followed by another dbl. A very similar set to fridays... 300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly 300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly 190' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly 160' Blood run wire diver pulling an Atommik chrome killer Spin Doctor and a hammer fly 70-90' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator" (early am) 70-90' rigger w/ Stinger mixed veggie (late am) 90-105' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator" (early am) 90-105'' rigger w/ Stinger mixed veggie (late am) 55-70' rigger w/ grn dot Spin Doctor and a "Legacy" fly (early am) 55-70' rigger w/ Stinger NBK (late am) 45-60' rigger w/ mupped Stinger confusions 450' Blood Run copper down the chute w/a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly A stellar bite had us fighting 28 fish for the day with 20 making it to the net. Our catch was 60% Lake Trout and the other 40% was Kings, a coho, and a Steelhead
