SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

The wind was brutal on Saturday. Caught a good sized brown near the museum. Was limited to fishing the immediate area that were close to structure that minimized the waves. Caught browns and steelhead in the lower river with plugs.

Sunday started really early. More of the same except right around sun up, my nephew landed his biggest Atlantic to date. Destroyed the lure. The planer board flew out of the water when it hit. He put on quite a show. We have caught about a dozen Atlantics over the years but none during the past few until this year. This is the second Atlantic this year already. Never harvested one until now. It is going on my nephews wall.

Drifted the upper SR Sunday afternoon but only managed to get one close to shore.

Next trip will be 5/1 for the LOTAC cleanup and hopefully some brown/walleye fishing.

That will likely conclude my lake fishing until early fall since I am just running a drift boat with a small kicker.

I switch over the stripers in two weeks.

Nice atlantic. What a great addition to the fishery if they continue to flourish in that size and the quantity thats been availible the last couple years.
