Sandy Creek Legacy Report May 4-5

[Legacy]

Saturday...

With the complete lack of colored water to chase Browns right out the front door, we decided to make the move off of shore for the first time this year looking for anything silver. In the hopes of finding Kings, we set up in 50fow and trolled Northeast with an aggressive set featuring almost all flasher/ flies. Once we hit 96 fow, our day got started with a triple on Lake Trout. From there the stage was set and Silvers would some how avoid the boat for the entire day. It was like an all you could eat chicken festival at Sandy Creek. Great year class of fat Lakers with the majority of fish over 12# and our big fish of the day at 20#. We looked at water from 60'- 220' only to find more and more Lakers. By mornings end we would end up with over 3 dozen fish on. Our producers todat were... Capt Valium Spin Doctors off the Blood Run 300' coppers, Green/ white crush Spin doctors off the Blood Run wire divers, 72 Monte SD off the deep rigger, and Mt dew Spin Doctor off the 65' rigger would be all we needed in the water for the day. Insane flasher/ fly bite on those 6 rods as the other 3 rods only did 2 bites with spoons all day. Needless to say my kid was extremely tired by the end of the trip!

Sunday...

Knowing where the Lakers were, we headed father east looking for water. Same spread as yesterday but with 3 high DW SS spoons in the set looking for Steel and Coho. Once again we picked away at Lakers all through the water column as we headed east. When we reached Wautoma, we made the decision to run to Braddocks point. We were looking for some different water and a day and a half in and still not a silver on board. By mornings end though, we would finally be rewarded with 3 Kings in the boat. Mixed bag for us today with over 25 bites filled with a smaller class of Lakers, Steelhead, and Kings. Once again, Capt Valium Spin Doctors off the Blood Run 300' coppers, Green/ white crush Spin doctors off the Blood Run wire divers, 72 Monte off the deep rigger, and Mt dew Spin Doctor off the 65' rigger would be all we needed in the water for the day. Only 1 spoon bite the entire day for us. We covered alot of water today (50'-260') from Sandy to Braddocks point only to find it virtually all looks the same with only a slight temp difference to make it any different. Lots of cold (mid 40s), green, and clean water out there.

Rob  good report. We had or fill of lakers this weekend as well. Mostly over 10 lbs with our largest at 18lbs. We had one fight like a king. We actually had to turn on it!!!!.  We did land a decent king last night. We worked from Wautoma to Braddocks as well.
