We fished northwest of the Point again today between 600 & 800 feet of water (fow). We set up in 55 degree water and trolled across a break into 39 degree water surface temperature. We hit fish right away. Our first hit came in 53 degree water on a clean bird with a Yeck Fireball. We hit another on a 1 color core with a Super Slim Magic Man in 44 degree water. By the time we landed that one we were in 39 degree water. I made a turn to go back to the warm water and hit 3 more Steelhead in the cold water. One on a Yeck Fireball out 65 feet on a high Slide Diver and the other 2 on clean birds. One on a SS Starburst and the other on a SS Steelie Stomper. We worked back and forth between 53 degree and 39 degree surface temps. There were a lot more boats to dodge out there today. We were hitting a few fish on the zig zag troll but by the sound of the boats on the radio they were having better action west of us. We put it on a 240 troll and our action picked up. We took a lot of our fish between 46 and 53 degree water. The Lake Trout on the left took a Super Slim Ruby Red 25 down on an out down. We took a Steelhead on it too. Some of our best rods were clean birds with Super Slim Starburst 3 bites, Little Devil Bumble Bee 3 bites, & a Yeck Fireball 3 bites. A Yeck Pat’s Bait on a 2 color core went 4 times and a Yeck Red Laser on a 3 color core took 2 Lakers. The chute rigger with a 11″ Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly took a nice Coho down 90 ft. A SS Steelie Stomper on a clean bird was good too. We missed a few fish today and threw back 2 small Steelhead. Our best speed seamed to be between 2.4 and 2.7 over ground.

7-2-15 Fishing Report
After the north blow yesterday the surface up north at the Point dropped to 41 degrees. We checked the Coast Watch image and saw what looked like a nice break northwest of the Point so we headed out in that direction. We found an area where the surface temp dropped form 55 degrees to 39 degrees in about a 2 mile stretch. That is where we started fishing. Our first 2 fish were smaller Steelhead on 1 color cores with a Super Slim Magic Man and a SS Steelie Stomper. We got into 39 degree water and were making a turn to head back to the warm side of the break when a mature King hit our low wire diver out 45 ft. with an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. We took the Lake Trout pictured left in that 39 degree water 73 ft. down on the chute rigger with a 10″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. Except for about a 30 minute stretch when we made an in troll looking for a tighter break, the action was steady. The last few trips we’ve made to deep water most of our bites have came on clean birds and 1 & 2 color cores. We took a lot of hits on those rods and also had several bites on our Slide Divers. We had a Super Slim Mixed Veggie with a 60 ft. lead out 85 on a high Slide Diver that went 3 times. A Yeck Fireball with the same 60 ft. lead out 65 also went 3 times on our other high Slide Diver . Super Slim Starburst, Steelie Dan & Double Orange Pearl were good on our clean birds and short cores. A Yeck Red Laser was good on a 3 color core. Our only rigger bite was the Trout we took on the chute rigger.We took a couple fish on a Yeck Fireball on a clean bird. It was a fun trip. I just wish we didn’t have to run so far to find the good water.
