6/15 Finders Keepers Fair Haven Report

[Finders Keepers]

Headed out of the chute at 5:30 and ran straight out to 90 fow where we set down and began setting up. After sending down the riggers to 62 and 72 ft, the 72 ft rigger popped with a Stinger green penguin mag and we boated a 6 lb laker. Without much on the screen we decided to point the boat north and work deeper waters. Where we also had a virtually blank screen all the way out to 450 fow, except for some high small bait pods and occassional high fish. We managed to boat (2) 18 lb kings and a beautiful 6 lb steelhead as we worked a temp break between 300 and 400 fow. The kings came on white/raspberry spin doc with LBB fly 350' on the wire, and blue dolphin spin doc with blue glow hammer fly also out 350 on the wire. Steelhead came on a steelie dan free slider. We also has another good rip on a Stinger UV Tuxedo mag set at 72 ft. So we ended at 10:30 4 for 5.

 

Very slow fishing and everyone we heard and talked to later that day at Screwy Louie's said the same - very sloooooow. Hopefully this wet weather pattern changes soon and allows the thermocline to set up and get the lake stablized. We'll see everyone at the Atommik Challenge this coming weekend!!

Yeah, only heard of one other king caught all morning down off Oswego. Ours were just by chance - didn't mark them or have any fish to work. The only thing we had to go by was that temp break. If we had another person on board we probably would have runa  couple leadcores off the boards with steely spoons, as we did mark quite a few high bait pods with occassional fish in the top 40 ft that were likely steelhead in that area. Tough fishing to say the least!
