The reports I heard from Saturday were quite a mix of hit and miss. A couple of great catches including one of 20 fish had me wanting to haul all the way out to 400+. Mother nature kicked in again with northeast winds so riding out was a pound. I set up short in 300 and noted the temperature was 49.9 and the warmest I saw on the way out was 51.5. I was concerned that the wind had turned the water and we would no longer have a color line to work. At 360fow when the temperature dropped to 47.5 I turned around. Popped a nice lake trout, 14 pound about 350fow 60 down and a half green half glow fly and a white blinker pro troll.
We continued west because a friend had a couple of good fish just under 300. When I reached 310 we got bit and also started marking more bait fish towards the top. On our return to that waypoint popped another fish so I figured this would be the place we would stay for a while. We ended up staying close to there most of the day even though a friend out in 350 had some really nice fish including an18.5 rainbow and a 20 pound king.
2 color with NBK orange 2 fish
3 color with Red/ Chartreuse Big Al fish flash and Brad’s hot tamale 2 fish
125 copper Brad’s Shamrock and Big Al Fish Flash Crushed Ice 2 fish
100 copper magnum Roadkill 1 fish.
80 foot downrigger Dragon slayer flasher and super frog fly 1 fish
60 foot rigor half green half glow fly and white pro troll blinker 1fish
23 foot rigger Mountain Dew with orange crush ice flasher and yellow fly with small spin and glow zero for one
Dipseys were dead first trip and again this one so pulled to run more lead core.
46° down 23 and 42 1/2° down 40 300fow. Rarely had the probe on my Depth Raider under 3.0. Ended nine for 10 bites with 4 lake trout, 3 rainbows and 2 coho.
The Lake is about as crazy stirred up as I can remember. I’m hoping when we get some stable weather fishing will improve.
