SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Brother made the trip up from NJ for some Fair Haven camping (cabin site at the State Park). Launched at 0530. Started in 80' of water. Marked some hooks at 95' with no takers, but marked waypoint. Trolled out to 140' with almost blank screen. Hook here or there. 50 degree temp was down 50-60' generally. Finally had a hit on the 60' rigger at about 0900. Boated 6 lb. steelhead. Thin fish, but beautiful. 1/2 hour later a 5' brown on green/ladder spoon also on the 60' rigger. These were both in the 95' depth.

Pretty stark overall. Fishing out of an 18' boat had us too skittish to head real deep. Saw some other boats working this area and deeper. Hope folks are connecting. Fish are definitely more scattered compared to our last outing of Hughes, a little west.

Thanks for posting! Sounds very much like my last trip to fair haven. Hopefully things pick back up soon. By the way I also fish out of a 18' boat but I have no problem heading out to 250 maybe even 300.
