SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

My dad and I made our first trip back in over 10 years. Started off slow, couldn't mark fish to save our life. North/south zig-zag'd from 140-230' for the first 1.5 hours. Finally decided to try east/west. Had a dipsey hang up and wouldn't trip so I throtled back the kicker to make it easier to get in. No sooner did I get my hand off the throtle and the other dipsey started screaming. Nice fight, ended up being a good king. Heck of a fish to start off with. Can't tell you how big, left the scale at home, probably somewhere between 25-30 lbs. Picked up the first steelhead shortly after and made a turn west to hit the numbers again. We couldn't get anything on the west troll, but bangged two more steelhead once we made the turn back east. I think we got everybody excited because by the end of the second pass there was a sizable pack forming. Got the king and one steel on green crush SD with seaweed howie fly, one on crome/green holo tape flasher w/ green bucktail fly, and the last on a orange/yellow NK 28.

Dad's first king in over 10 years, let me tell you, there was some whoopin' goin' on with that one.

The better of the steelhead, not too impressive, but nice when they start the dance.
