Hello All,

Busy, busy summer - with a week spent in California at my brother's wedding - has kept me off the water for almost 2 months. (saw a guy catch a big halibut off the pier in Seal Beach!)

I began at the south end running a "two lines deep, one line shallow" program at medium speeds to try and cover my bases. Three rainbow trout into the morning, I ditched the deep lines and had 2 leadcores and a downrigger to go after the eager silvers. I was marking lakers on the bottom in 180 feet. At that depth, they can stay down there! Got 6 fish in all up to 25 inches. They pulled hard and jumped for me. I have never had rainbows turn the tables on the lake trout like that before. Might have to explore this further!
