Olcott 8/3 & 8/4

Fished out of Olcott on the afternoon of 8/3 and morning of 8/4. We were planning to fish Saturday, but it was a bit rough! I hope the blow didn't goof up fishing, it was awesome for us both days. We worked 4-500' of water with the upper end of that range producing our bigger fish. On Thursday we took a mixed bag of coho, steelhead, and kings. The coho and steel had nice size, but kings were smaller. Lures didn't matter for us on Thrusday - spoons, flies, meat; they all worked and we had trouble getting our full spread in.

 

On Friday we took another mixed bag with a screamer king and a few 8-10 lb kings, so better size. An atomic stud fly behind a chrome frog spinner and dipsy was our best program. 10 color cores, 300 and 400 coppers and the riggers also worked. We fished everything 65' or above, with the best success targeting the 45-55' depth. Despite one lost day it was an awesome trip.
