I have had some terrific mid-summer bites between 5pm-9pm as I increased the frequency I fished late. Here are notes I keep for myself…. I have done best over 200-300 early in the evening and moved in as time went, normally finishing the night over 150’, mostly mature kings, suspended fish in the top 100’, bright to start while I added glow into the spread after 6:00 pm., mix of spoons/flashers, kept one high red spoon as I have taken some large steelies during those times, occasional jumbo brownie late as I get shallower. July is when I fish calm evenings. Have fished June evenings with limited success…. Those are my notes…. I experience either a wide open bite or a grind for 3-5 fish. That time of day is 5-6 hours after the mid-day bite… kings like to eat.

someone can comment on flasher/fly/meat but to give you a few spoons Dreamweaver, Moonshine, Stinger, Warrior Kings - Black/Green, White/Glo, Silver/Gold... many spoons in those color combinations that work. Vary sizes based on time of year... Carbon 14 (and variations), NBK, Green Jeans, Green Slice, Seasick, Lazer Spook, Rodfather, Green Menace, Oscar, Bad Toad, Shelly Snack, Spearmint, Chicken Wing to name a few. See common color theme? Steel - brights high in water column in early season (red, orange, yellow, green). Same as kings when they are deep works just downsized slightly but they hit mags as well. Really once you find the location with them, circle back through as they are often in pods near the temp breaks. There are many threads to review and just look for common mentions in peoples reports if you search old threads

location on lake would help due to species distribution and seasonal patterns

I run what Zinger runs.... #5 Chinook as low and #4 Chinook as high.
