SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

I started out in the dark and set up just before sun rise in 90 feet with 50 degrees at about 55 down. Around 130 feet there was bait and I missed a skippy there but 2 minutes later I got a nice big brown. I trolled out to about 360 feet while all the time the thermocline was steady at about 55 feet down. There was a steady slow pick mostly on spoons.There were no takers for the dipsy with spin doctors and fly at 180 feet of wire.The downrigger with a glow frog kept busy ,although nothing big was caught.

On the troll back to the south,it started raining .I shortened the dipsy to 100 feet and that started firing too. at 350 feet it was mostly steel head but around 120 feet there were salmon in the top 40 feet.

Nothing really big though. The lessons learned while prefishing and observing definitely made a huge difference.

On the troll back in,the thermocline came up to 33 foot with all the fish above the 50 degree line.
