SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Lake was a little ridiculous today but I had to go out. Fished the first 3 hours solo which was a chore. Hooked up right away in 225ft of water w/ 200 ft of wire out - ended up losing that fish. About an hour later picked up about a 10lb steelhead on a blue fly back 300. At 430 my buddy made it to the dock and made a quick run in to grab him to finish off the evening and was hoping the wind would let up. I was wrong - it kept getting worse! We hit 100ft and dropped both wires out and pushed out to 200ft and decided to turn and head back in. On the way in we had the wire back 300, for some reason decided to drop it back another 30 ft. Just snugged up the drag and it started bouncing. Ended up picking up a small 15 pound king and decided to get the hell out of there. I can only hope the waves slow down tomorrow. Tough fishing but at least we didn't get skunked.
