Olcott 6-19-10

[Tim Bromund]

After taking the last three weeks off, based on some of the reports this week, we gave it a shot this morning. Got to the marina at 0600 and had rods in the water around 0630.

Steady action all morning, ended up 8/16 when the lake started to get snotty and we pulled lines at 0900. Had a bad case of the dropsies this morning. Kings, cohos and steelhead. Slightly West to straight out in front of harbor in 200-300 fow, North/South trolls.

All rigs were working and all 6 rods in the spread took fish today (gotta love when that happens).

Deep rigger at 95 with a green double crush glow spinny and green and chart Atommik fly (sorry, don't remember the pattern off the top of my head) went a couple times.

Shallow rigger at 70 with a gator SS on the main line and NBK SS on the free slider went a bunch of times, both on the main spoon and the slider (a lot of our drops were on this rod, probably slider bites).

Wire diver with green dolphin protroll and matching Atommik fly at 180 on a 2 fired twice (one was a hit and run not counted in the bite total above).

Power Pro Diver at 165 on a 1.5 went once with a nuclear green spinny and blue glow hammer Atommik.

200' copper took a nice coho on 6" red double crush spinny and green/blue/silver peanut/coho type fly (homemade).

400' copper with green double crush glow Opti Inticer and green Krinkle Atommik took a nice 9+ lb steelie.

Doubled up

9+ lb steelie

Some of the evidence of the piscatorial bedlam that ensued this morning

5 shaker kings caught and released, 4 clipped 1 wild.

16 bites in 2.5 hrs, great start to the summer fishing at Olcott, Hope it lasts all season.

I don't do much on the big O, wondering how far out is 300 FOW in that area? thanks

When I set the gps to navigate to the waypoint at the pierheads on saturday, we were in 275 fow and the distance to next on the gps was 4.2 miles ans I was a bit west of port at that point, so I would say that 300 fow is less than 5 miles offshore right at Olcott.
