Fishing Report

We had a half day 1 man trip this morning. We headed up north and set up off the bank. Surface temp was 53.3 degrees, and it was 43 down 50 feet. We hit a fish on a 3 color core with a Double Orange Crush before all our lines were set. It was a nice Steelhead. Our port out down went with a pair of SS Sodas. Took a King on that. We took another King on the chute rigger down 65 with an 11″ White Slick Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with an SS Half Hulk 20 feet above the Paddle. The fish took the stack. A little later the Paddle went with a big fish, but it escaped. We missed a fish and took a fish on our starboard 5 color with a Gold Yeck Fireball. We had a throwback King on our port 7.5 color core with a Steelie Ranger. Missed a fish on the starboard 7.5 with an SS Chilly Willie. It was early and we had 5 keeper fish, so we pulled lines and went south to see if we could find some Lake Trout. We took 1 on a high wire Ninja Diver ticking bottom with an 8″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctor/Green Spin-N-Glo. Our chute rigger bouncing bottom with an 8″ UV Spin Doctor/Chrome Blue Spin-N-Glo took our second Laker. We hit one on our starboard low wire Ninja Diver with an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Fire Tiger Whirly Gig. It got off right behind the boat. We hit 3 more on our divers and didn’t any of them. It was a fun trip and the captain got to take home some fish.

It was nice to be back on the water after a 6 day layoff. We were on a fun fishing trip this morning. We had heard good reports about fishing a little north  in 60 feet of water. We set up and trolled north. Not any fish on our screen so we continued north. Talked to a boat ahead of us and they were hitting fish out deeper. There are a lot of small fish out there now and our 1st fish was a throwback King. It came on a 5 color core with an SS Burnt Bloody Nose. We released another small King that took a Goat spoon on a 3 color core. A high wire Ninja diver out 70 took our first keeper King on a regular size glow spoon. Our starboard out down took 2 fish on the same rod down 56. The keeper came on a Goldie Locks free sliding above a green glow spoon. We took a Laker on an SS Blue Jeans stacked above an 11″ White Slick Paddle down 80. Our biggest King came on a Yeck Sunshine spoon that hit on a 5 color core when it was going out. We took 2 fish on a high wire Ninja diver out 100 on a Steelie Ranger. We kept a small King that was bleeding on a 10 color core with a SS Wonder Veggie. If one of high lead core rods was dead, it was almost sure to have a small King riding on it. We threw 4 small Kings back and had to keep 2. Our King bite died so we pulled lines ran back south to Trout fish. We took 2 Trout on our starboard high Ninja diver ticking bottom with an 8″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctor/Glow Spin-N-Glo. Took 2 Trout on the chute rigger bouncing bottom with an 8″ UV Spin Doctor/Blue Chrome Spin-N-Glo, and 1 more on our port high Ninja diver ticking bottom with a Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctor/Double Trouble Spin-N-Glo.
