The Fog was completely ingulfing. I went out at 6:00 and only saw two boats until 2:00 and one was my buddy who was targeting the same area. I had my stocking cap, rain coat and sweat shirt on until noon. I love natural air conditioning.
I ended up 3/5 a very nice 8lb King, a 29″ Steelie and a 7lb laker, lots of tick and runs on the long line. I don’t count them because I never really had them on and I assume they were Pinks. All fish came off of a #7 purpledescent tail dancer. I’ve done so well with these up there I have 5 in my box. Run them 150′ behind the boat/board and hold on.
Saturday night I ran solo again from 7-8:30 and got 1 Coho around 5lbs, 3 lakers and I downsized and got 6 pinks and 2 more bows. A very intense 90 minutes by myself. Ending up 12/18. Most coming off a 2″ pink and white luhr-jenson spoon I got out of a bargain bin for 50 cents.
Sunday was tough. We only got 2 lakers from 6-12:00 both around 5lbs. Found a very nice temperature break and fished it hard but only got one from there and the other just out in the abyss. Went out to 650′ and found 59 degree water but no fish. Hope to head up labor day weekend or maybe a day trip during the week.
Fishing is only going to get better. Anyone who likes to fly fish should be ready to head up there. The lake is full of pinks and when they decide to make their run it’s going to be intense. I’d say 2-4 weeks.
Great post! It’s very nice. Thank you so much for your post.
