Steelhead and Kings In Front of Olcott

[jpiatkowski]

I ventured out yesterday late morning in front of Olcott. I set up my downriggers in 80 FOW and got my first hit before I hit the 100' mark. 60' down I got a nice fat Steelhead. I started marking bait pods near the bottom so I set my rigger to 80'. As soon as I picked up my speed....Bam. A nice King. About 17-18#. Working 90'-110 FOW I caught 2 more very young Kings and lost 2 B-I-G hits. All on blue/black spoons. I was home before noon.

Wow nice trip !! So these are kings that did not stage just younger salmon still growing up in the lake?

Yes, those are immature salmon (1 and 2year old fish).

Yeah.  The 1st King was about 18 lbs.  The next two were just shakers.  Maybe 2 or 3 lbs.  All the fish were nice and shiny.  I prefer shiny, fresh fish to salmon that are in the marina or up the creeks and turning black.

I'm hoping to head out in front of Olcott again this afternoon.  Waves are supposed to be 1' or less.  Anybody have any reports?
