Saturday night we had a strong front move in, and fishing slowed up. We set up where we left up Saturday looking for some of the bigger kings. The Lil’ bruiser off the birds were the studs again today account for more then half of the fish. We found a spot in 144fow that was good for a fish or two on each pass, so we worked the spot until about 10 and then it shut down. Then on our last pass we had a double hook up with 2 nice Coho’s, 1 off a bird the other of a green dodger and a marriage fly off the rigger down 90

We fished the Chicagolandfishing.com Coho Open and took 2nd place. We set up in 135fow and the second rod down went off before I could get the rod in the holder. It was a 3 – 4 # rainbow that hit a blue dolphin spoon down 100 foot. After that the birds got hot with the Lil’ bruiser doing most of the work behind a OO orange dodger and 1/2 oz inline weight back 3 – 4 passes. We had our 10 fish limit by 8:30, but now we set out sites on some big fish. The fist king hit a Carlson reel fish down 100 foot on the rigger, and then about a minute later the cut bait rig ( salmon Assassin with a green glow twinke rig) went off. Mike and I had 2 good kings on, the first one went 9# and the second one went 10.5#
