1/1 on Steelhead:

Total surprise right around Wilson area (looked like a drop back) on downrigger set at 35ft with Michigan Stinger Glow Black Wiggler Stingray spoon

 

Overall, it seemed that cohos were present from Olcott to Wilson and then from Wilson to about 6-mile there were more kings around since this section was where all the kings hit. Also it seemed that going faster(>2.5mph) worked slightly better in attracting bites. Sparse on pics because phone died but managed to get pics of what we kept when we got back to where we were staying.
