Was that you coming in to Severene when I was going out? Waves were a bit up but they calmed down later, only one salmon for me. Fleas were bad on lighter leaders and wire dipsy, weird!

I think the fact that the fleas are still around is related to the water temp that has been in the 60 ish range in the Fingers. I'm pretty sure the norm for this particular point in the season is in the mid to high fifties water temp wise. Hope fully they will disappear with the projected lower air temps this weekend which should also bring down the water temp a bit. Hopefully it will also turn on the perch bite in the shallows.
