SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Hit the water at 7:30 looking for big kings. Rough chop out the NW to begin with. Went due north of the chute to 400 feet. Marked significant bait at 70 -100 fow on the way out and did not mark many fish in deeper water. After a few hours of trolling with out marking more than 2 or 3 fish came in shallow and saw fish and bait 50 to 70 down over 70 to 120. Fished spoons off the riggers and fished flashers and flies off the dipseys but only the riggers got hit. Best browns and steelhead were about 6 or 7 pounds. Kings were yearlings. We were hoping to tangle with some Kingasaurus Rex but will have to wait till next time.

For some reason, I haven't done much this year on flies either. Spoons seem to being doing well for me, off of the riggers or the copper. I still run my dipsy's with flahers and flies, just to try and attract fish closer to my spoons. Nice job, though, I'd be real happy with 9 fish.

Thanks Guys,

For one of the two guys I took, it was his first Lake Ontario trip so I was glad we hit some pay dirt even though we didn't find the big guys. He was pretty excited with the steelhead and browns we caught.
