SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Where are all the fisherman!!! A buddy (Team Stolte) and I packed up the girls (4 and 5 Years Old)and hit the road at 4 am. Only 4 or 5 other boats there already. Got to the bluffs around 6 15 and were dropping lines at 630 or so. Just got 2 lines set when the the first fired . First Salmon of the year! Re rigged and dropped it back down to 92' in 150 fow. Set the third line, a braid dipsy when the other rigger fired. As I was fitting it the first rigger fired. First double of the year and its only 6:50. A nice king (20 lbs) and a coho around 5 lbs. Action coninued all morning. Ended up boating close to 30 fish and lost 8 or 10 more. Lost count. Mostly a rigger bite but did get a few on the divers. Green NK mag down 92 with a slider, and a wonderbread down 60 with a slider did the trick. The action was too hot to mess around with it. Ran a bloody death SD with Blue fly and a Green SD with a green fly on the divers. Also ran a couple different SD/fly combos on the wire but it was the only rod not to take a hit . most of the fish came right out front in 150 fow but did hook up in the 120-180 fow range. Cant believe we had the entire lake to our selves and such a spectacular day! The girls were super excited as they handled most of the bows and hos. Ended up with a mixed bag of Kings, cohos and bows. 4 good kings over 20 lbs! The boat surew needed a good pressure washing. Cant wait for the fish to move a bit further East so we can spend more time on the water and less in the truck.

Hi Jeff,

That sounds like a perfect day on the water, the kids are surely going to be hooked to fishing for life now

Did you go straight out from the bluffs until u got to the 150 plus water or did you go in another direction?

Planning to go tomorrow and was wondering where you went

Post some pics if you can

Thanks for posting, have a great weekend

We headed pretty well straight out. Set up in 80 fow and trolled south west. I was surprised how quick it dropped of there. We zig zagged between 175 and 120 fow. Went likely 3 lies west, than turned arfound and headed East. Best action was directly in front of marina.

As for the kids, they were already hooked. We dont get out much with out them.
