You greatly exaggerate the numbers
I have not had any issue catching and releasing steelhead in the lake
So the agenda is lake fishing isn't as important as the stream fishing?
It sounds like the hunting debate... No fair bow hunting before I get to gun hunt there won't be any left for me

The fish are there for everyone to catch not just the charters,heck Rick(Yankee Troller) even gives out reports on where and what
Can't understand why some guys have such a hard on for charters?
Headed off shore fished the 25-27 line. 7 for 12. 3 kings two skippys and a 10 lb. The rest were steelhead .
11 and 11.5 lbs were the largest, lost 2 more big ones on leaps. 50' down was the ticket with DW gator and Gitter Done.
Good luck!

That UV Gator is hot and will work!
Today was tough I fished solo 2 for 5 had a shot on meat rig early but came off after 30 seconds, 2 hits on DW Gator and no hook up. Finally motored out to the 26 line and put 2 steelhead in the boat one good one 10 lbs. DW gator and stingray UV gator.
I'll be out Sunday for sure, the big fish, Came on a Big Weenie paddle and meat rig , a steelhead on FF but mostly a spoon bite DW Gator still going strong

Fleas are much better, they are staying off the 30lb Sea fleas and not as many on the wire but you still need to check lines every 1/2 hour

Fished off Braddocks this morning. Started in tight 75 FOW and we caught a 5 lb brown. We worked out to 250 FOW took a skipper king and headed back in. We picked up a steelhead and another small king. When we got into 160 FOW the 300 copper with a Big Weenie meat rig fired hard! Line screaming out towards Canada! We cleared lines and started maneuvering so I could gain on the fish as I couldn't budge it. Finally after 1/2 hour we put a beautiful 26lb 4 oz king on the deck!
We caught a couple more 8-10 lb kings another brown and a couple lakers. Finally tally was 11 for 11 with the biggest fish of the season
Good luck and good fishing!
