Chinook Chaser

went outta Hughes fished mostly between sodus and bluff closest to Hughes from 140 to 190, best screens and action 160. did 6 kings and 2 Lakers. was mostly flasher fly with a few hook ups on nbk spoon. Not much of a pattern except for green or greenish sd or protroll. sd white uv with proam fly took a few shots off 500 copper, most hits came on wire. ff combos that took hits mountain dew chartreuse with a big fin fly. A pro troll that I think it's called black Mirage with a black Mirage fly. Chrome to face with Stud fly.

Most important topic Finding fish is the most important part of catching I don't think anyone could argue against that. But consistently finding them is a struggle. I believe if you have fished lake o long enough and have learned in general what the kings like (let's focus on them) then if you find them and they are hungry you will catch some if all other factors are correct we know there's a lot, down speed temp etc. Now obviously we need to be fishing an area that is in general holding kings area of concentration of course may be many miles in diameter let's say, but we know certain areas hold fish different times of the year we are most likely not gonna head out of pultneyville and put a dozen in the boat this time of year. Let's use my last trip out as an example. We fished on 5/27 in front of Wilson and found hungry fish caught a bunch and had a blast. Now I wish I could say the success was from many years of fishing, in part yes I had a good idea what to throw at them but the finding them part......really just luck and a couple good reports. Now obviously things can change over night and those fish could be in Canada. I am headed back to fish Wednesday Thursday. Weather is calling for many days in a row of sw wind from 5 to 20 knots. What will this due to those fish and fishing and general? Any salty dogs out there feel free to give some knowledge. Will those fish move with that "good water" and be miles west out deeper? If the bait has moved then would make sense that they would. In general what I am wondering is are there any general rules of thumb or guidelines one can follow to get back on the fish. I know many times I have gone back the same spot and almost nothing. What would happen if it were many days of east wind. Are the wind and currents a great place to start when trying to determine where fish may be or may have gone to? Anyone commenting please feel free to comment.

Thank you headed out there Saturday hope to pick up a few

Did you fish right in front of Wilson?

Great video I am fired up!!

Launched at Newfane yesterday morning about 6:30. Went about 2 miles West and setup. Best screens we had were between 150 and 170. We went 3 for 9 all steelhead. Only one hit on spoons the rest came on flashers and flies. Did not go all the way down to the bar. Most of our action was between 100 and 120. We should have went all the way to the bar but I was unfamiliar with how far to go and we wanted to get setup. Next time we will head all the way to the bar. Others we talked to who went to the bar said it was slow and had very similar catch numbers to us. Not a single hit on the downrigger it was all 200 copper and wire. We were told the day before was pretty hot another boat I talk to got 9 Kings Tuesday.
