Nice report, thank you. I should of kept heading east, it definitely was the easier troll in my little boat.

Nice job

Thanks guys. Watching those poles pop and reeling those fish in never gets old so just wishing it happened more often. But I think the frustration, learning and "puzzle" solving is more than half the fun. If it was easy probably get boring real quick. Just added a FishHawk TD so I can get down temps, hopefully I will be able to put that to good use. Wanted to do the whole speed/temp prob thing, but just couldn't swing it this year, maybe next year. I have noticed, and maybe it is just because of the conditions, but the fish I am catching are averaging much bigger than last year.

Rule 16 revised on website now. 20lbs for both spring and summer. 25lb is just for fall. 16. Agrees that all trout must weigh a minimum of ten (10) pounds and walleye must weigh a minimum of 8 ( pounds (Spring Only) and salmon must weigh a minimum of twenty (20) pounds for entry in the Spring and Summer Derbies. Lake Trout must be at least 30 inches long. Only initial measurement by Weigh Master is valid due to imminent shrinkage. For the Fall Derbies, salmon must weigh twenty-five (25) pounds, trout ten (10) pounds.

Nice fish, congrats!

Those videos are great. Thanks for sharing!

Was thinking of giving the LOC Derby a try this year and just had a question. On their website the rules and regulations say that for the Summer Derby a salmon must weigh at least 25lbs. But if I look at the current leader board all but two salmon are under 25lbs. Is it 20lbs for the Summer Derby too?

Nice job! Congrats on getting one on the LOC board.

Once again, thank you very much for the report. Always helpful information.

Thanks for the report. Looks like a great weekend!

Started picking up fleas at the Oak yesterday, couple good globs on each line.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Tom/American Honey ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):6/17 Time on Water:6:30-11am Weather/Temp:Warm/Sunny Wind Speed/Direction:10mph SW Waves: less than 1' Surface Temp: 57-63 Location: Straight out LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 4 Total Boated:3 Species Breakdown:1 King 2 Steelhead Hot Lure: Trolling Speed:2.0-2.8 mph Down Speed: Boat Depth: 130-200 Lure Depth: 40-90 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Was a slow day for me, was hoping for better since things seemed to be picking up last Sunday. Started in about 130ft pretty much straight out from the river, trolling North. Had the king in the boat within the first 20 mins, came from 70'down on a Dirty White Boy spoon. But it turned out to be the curse of the early fish. Trolled back and forth North-South from 150-200 and couldn't get any rods to pop for well over an hour. Had to fall back on the piss bucket tactic. Seems fish like to bite when you got your fly down and your junk hanging out. Sure enough before I could zip my fly up the 270' wire diver with Atomik Sea Sick Waddler combo starts pumping and I pull in a nice Steelhead. Troll around again for what seems forever with no action, decided to troll into the river and call it a day. Hit about 130 ft and the cheater on the 90' rigger pulls in a small steelhead, don't remember what the spoon was. Can't complain about the steelhead, but I sure wish I could improve on the number of fish that I catch. Just got to keep at it I guess. Happy Father's day to all the fathers out there.
