Got a late start this morning.  2 boats had launched ahead of me & were gone.  Sun had just risen but everything had a golden shine to it.

 

 

We had a visitor on the river today:

They were doing some trawling off the Genny in 25-35 MOW (meters of water)

 

Anyways, 64F in the river.  Dredging still going on. Obviously a clear sky & very little wind.

 

Took a left again & headed out.  Surface temp dropped to low 50’s. Put in at 80 off the stacks & headed out.  Made it to 170 FOW then turned around & back in.  Played in 110 & went 2 for 4. 1 King, (9#) 1 steelhead (7 #).   All off the rigg’r, all down only 15 ft, medium length lead.  All on Bloody Blk/slvr spoon.  Lots of swirling on the surface.

 

Had one on a ways back and he jumped three times, spit the hook and jumped 3 more times.  Guess he was saying:      oh well, next time….

 

Pulled them up around 10:30.

 

Luck to all,
