SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

We motored out to 100' and setup heading for 200' where we had good action last week. As soon as we hit 200 a nice steelhead attacked the green NK parked down 45'. That was quickly followed up by a smaller steelie down 20, then the wire back 180 pulling a green echip and fly fires. We scooped a 9lb king and suddenly another steelie is on! By this time the lake is way beyond the forecasted wave heights. We decide to spin the boat around and ride with it. Well we spun a little too quick and got our first nice tangle of the year. By the time we were done cutting, the sky went from overcast to sunny and we lost our fish! After we got back near our waypoint though things picked up a little with a coho and wayward brown netted and a couple lost. Not bad fishing considering conditions but we called it quits early.
