SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Set up in at 100’ front of the river with riggers at 80’ and 100’ and set out on a NW troll. Caught a 5# steelhead on a NK purple glow frog 80’ down over 140 FOW. It was a tough ride out. Dog got sick, lost a dipsy, spin doctor and fly and my son was starting to look green, so we turned around at 200 FOW and headed back in. We had what I assume was another steelhead 100’ down over 170 FOW, but it spit the hook on its first jump. We set up the 120’ rigger with a Glow Yellow Tail Spin Doctor w/ Crinkle Mirage Green Hammer Fly and just as we got to 130 FOW it took huge hit and we ended up with a 22# king. Didn’t make the leader board, but it was our first big king. Pretty cool day on the lake.

Woody, We fish in a blue and white 16' Starcraft out of Mayers on IBay. We are out most weekends weather permitting.

Stan, My son is a truper and loves to fish. I think this may have convinced him that this can better than fishing for bass in the Bay.

Thanks - Andy

Dale,

Thanks for the offer. We have stayed close to home this year after taking up trout and salmon fishing and trying to learn more about fishing the basin. Maybe its time for a road trip.
