Launched at the river this morning.  Like what they did there.  New docks, new road, decent parking.  City made sure to get the parking machine in early this year.  $8 for a weekend launch, $5 for weekday. Attendant on duty.

 

Anyways, 65F surface in the river, some people pier fishing.  Not much flotsam in the river.  Water is definitely low for this time of year.  ½ moon. No wind.  Took a left at the pierheads and went west.  Put in about 60 ft. Worked a couple depths on the way out to 200 FOW. 

 

 

Main Thermal Bar at 160-175 FOW.  Big slobs down near the bottom outside of it, unfortunately out of my reach.

Only got one small steelhead, barely legal, on a Bloody Blk & Silver spoon, 10 ft down, 2 ¾ mph down.

 

Off at 10:30.  Oh well, at least the boat ran well & am happy to have been out on the water again.  That was an awful long winter.

 

Luck to all,

Glad to see the first picture of the year. It was worth the wait.

 

With family obligations, getting the camper ready and  much needed yard work, never made it out this weekend.

 

Doesn't sound like they did all that well in our neck of the woods. Any time you can be out on the lake however as your picture shows, its a missed opportunity.
