What a way to kick off the 2008 season. Got to the boat at 5 am to find out 2 of my crew will be late. Left the dock at 615 and Headed to 80 FOW. Got a full 8 rod spread out and nailed a decent king right off the bat. 20 minutes later, we had 4 fish on at once. By 12:30, we were ending our day 19 for 25. We boated 1 steelhead (10 lbs), 1 laker (10 lbs), 2 coho, and 15 kings. The kings ranged from 3 lbs. - 18 lbs. The majority were around 6 - 12 lbs. 130 FOW seemed most productive West and East of the creek. Watoma Shoals produced the bigger fish of the day. Stinger NBK Stingray was the top producer off the riggers 40 - 60 down. Took 3 fish on flasher/fly combos (spin doctors in three different colors with three different colored flies - Live wire w/homemade fly, white w/ mirage, green w/ green hammer.). 300' copper took 5 fish w/ a Stinger NKB. Boards with 1 oz. of weight (50/50) and my favorite NK 28 (don't know the name it came from the spring sale out of the reject bin) took the steelie, a coho, and a king off the board. Wires were quiet producing one king on a flasher/fly combo.
