Independence Day - Oswego

[ReelLaxing]

Thanks to those that have served and gave all to give us our Independence and the freedoms we enjoy in our great country, UnkelJim, my dad and my 8 year old son were able to enjoy our freedom in a day of fishing out of Oswego.

Started in 130 fow just west of the chute on a north troll and it didn’t take long before we hooked up on what seemed like a really good king 75’ down, 20’ back on a NK28 Glow Frog, but 5 minutes into the fight, poof, gone (how do they do that???). For the next couple of hours, we had consistent hits, ending up with 3 kings (20lbs, 18lbs, 7lbs), 2 browns (4lbs, 7lbs), 1 Lake Trout (5lbs) that fought like a king, at least until we found that the dipsy had not tripped, and 1 Steelhead (5lbs). NK28 Glow Frog, NK28 Silver Frog, and a NBK Spin Doctor-wire/dipsy 250’ with Green Krinkle fly were the active lures for us today. Hits all came in the 60’ to 80’ down range. Later morning we couldn't buy a hit, and began running through the gambit of colors, sizes, speeds, depths, direction without any further luck… but hey, the freedom to enjoy this great sport is worth all the fish in the lake.

Enjoy your Independence everyone!
