Fair Haven July 13th

[bout time]

Took out a friend and his buddy who has never been salmon fishing before. left the dock @ 5:30 and was setting lines just west of chute in 120 FOW a little after 6. lake had a decent 2-3 foot chop in the morning. Found 50 Degrees down 80 over 120. Ran 4 riggers and 3 wire divers. 2 inside riggers pulling spoons and all others falsher fly combos. found a good pod of fish in the 140-180 range. First pass through produced a 6 lb King off the inside rigger set 82 pulling a Die Hard spoon. Next to fire was deep rigger @ 110  pulling custom taped White/Blue Spin Dr/ Hammer fly while fighting that fish 260 dipsey rips pulling White Green Dot board Big Fin fly - DOUBLED UP. landed both fish. both 2 year old Kings 16 and 15 lbs. Fish seemed to disappear after that. I pushed out to 200+ to see where they went. found them again in 190 - 220 range. Dipsey @ 286 pulling green paddle green fly ripped out to 640 before stopping. after a good fight landed a respectable 21 lb King. pointed towards the chute and rigger down 62 pulling a SSW fires and the aerial show began. after some crazy rod movings and untanglings we landed a nice 11 lb Steelhead. back at the dock by 10:30 am
