SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Nice to get back in the saddle again as I have not fished since mid-April. Greeted today with cold water from East blows the last two days. Cold temps inside had us trying for browns around all the bait first thing this morning. Had trouble keeping small Kings off the lines so headed out deep looking for bigger targets. Ran 4,5,6,7, colors, two wire divers with flasher/flies and three riggers. Had a nice steady day of Steelhead on the leadcore and Kings off the divers. No derby fish but three nice Kings of 19, 20, and 21 lbs. Had a lot of trouble releasing fish today with the lack of O2 (no waves) and warm off-shore surface temps (68 degrees). The bugs became bad as the sun rose. Took time after a 25 min. battle with one of the Kings to jump in the lake and enjoy a few pops/lunch with the lines pulled. Headed back into 150' range to see if the temps had warmed. The in-shore bait and Kings had pulled out deeper at mid-day as we got into some nice fish the last hour before pulling the plug. The larger Kings and two of the larger steelhead came from the wire Mag Divers out 225' and 315'. Nice day to be out!

Note to Steelheaders fishing tribs using black anondized egg hooks; we caught a steelhead with a hook stuck in it's lower jaw.......there was zero signs of rust on the hook. I know some of you guy like to use 4 or 6 lb fluoro but consider the fish may have to live with that hook for a long time if you snap one off. Fish was released in good shape.

Looking good for the dog-days-of-summer upon us.
