July 15-22 At The Oak

[digitroll]

Our annual 7 day trip to the Oak yielded a spoon bite this time for the first time. We normally fish spoons at the Bar during the Spring LOC derby. We were shut out when we tried meat and spinnies and flies at the Oak. We tried deep we tried mid depths. We targeted the small bait balls between 40-60 ft straight out front of the Oak mostly in 400 fow during the week. Lots of giant steelhead and 2 big Domestic rainbows. Plus Kings to 21 lbs. Route 18 tackle custom spoons and the always trustworthy Moonshine Carbon 14 the first 2 hours. It was fun catching these fish on spoons! 52 fish landed on 98 bites over the 7 days. We fished 2 riggers and 4 divers. Riggers parked at 60 ft and divers in that 40-60 ft window. The Kings were in that 55F-57F window with the Rainbows feeding on those bait balls!
