Olcott 4-10

[Poles293]

Got on the lake about 7:30 and it wasn't too bad out. A little windy and cold but the Lake was calm. Saw Thrillseeker going east so we headed west just to stay out of his way. Couldn't find any dirty water everything was gin clear. Picked up one 3 lb steelhead on a purpledescent f9 Rapala. 

 

Decided to head back east and work the front of the harbor and missed one near the mouth on a gold/black Rapala. The plume from the creek was the only dirty / warmer water we could find. I think it was 44 degrees near the plume. Made several figure 8 passes in front of the harbor taking turns with Captain Vince and Thrillseeker working the inside pass. Picked up one  brown right in front of the piers then the wind and rain kicked up and decided to call it quits. 

 

We didn't want to get too far from the harbor because of the threat of thunderstorms so it was a relatively short trip.

Had same situation at Wilson piers on Monday mid-day. With all the rain coming tonight and tomorrow, I'm hoping for some colored water along shore as soon as the winds are favorable for trolling. Urging caution for boulders near water surface in places where they were well submurged in the past at higher lake levels. Found two near wilson piers. Keep a set of eyes forward if in 5 FOW.
