When it's calm go deep

[jacobj12k]

When you run a small boat, it is challenging to get out deep so you have to make the runs when you get the chance. Forecast for this weekend looks calm. I got out deep last Sunday morning and only boated two fish but one made the LOC Derby Steelhead leaderboard. I intend to get my daughter on the youth leaderboard this weekend. I launch out of Bear Creek. Little blue Lund pulled by white Tahoe. Say Hi if you're a LOU member. My forecast is for a slow bite but some quality fish will be caught and a few put on the Derby board. While I would love a 35lb salmon to win the $25k I think my chances are better getting another long Steelhead

Nice job Jacob! I too run out of Bear Creek, we met the day the heavens opened up and poured on us. I have the Rinker, and silver Dodge. I like your setup, quick and easy to run. I am planning for Saturday morning.

Great fish!  I ran deep the other night on a solo trip and got a few kings.  Kind of tough with a small boat but not a sole was out there and was very peaceful.   I am sure that won't be the case on weekends.   We run down that way quite often.   I also have a small boat 22' for that lake but when it calm it's great to be way out there.  Good luck and hope you have more success.

Nice Steelhead!!  When the Salmon start thier run I heard the Steelhead fish is great on the lake. I dont like combate fishing too mush and I think I would enjoy the Steelhead fishing while everyone eles is still fishing Salmon. How far down are the steelhead? I dont have a temp prob. I just started fishing Lake Ontario this year( Very expensive) so Its on the list for next season. Thanks in Advance!! Good luck on the LOC Derby!
