Friday Evening 7/12, was gonna try a little Perch fishing but couldn't get bait after 5pm. so we went salmon fishing. Set up 5:45/55 fow SE of the harbor trolled around some of are old way points 70-95+ fow first hit while still setting lines was on a reg. bl./grn Dolphin spoon on a braided dipsey #2/150 loc but came off after it peeled off a few yards of line. Then nothing for a good hour or so even though we were marking bait and fish 50-90 fow, But the current was strong and I may have been going a little too fast 2.2-2.5 gps , but when the sun set and the lake calm down some and it seamed the current subsided some too. Then the braided dipsey rod #2/70 loc with the reg. NBK spoon shinned for a little while and took 4 hits in a row, first a weird hit and miss tangle with another rod, then a nice 8-9lb. coho, a small king and a another hit and miss. Ended 2 for 5 which was kind of what I expected from the recent reports, nothing on the flasher fly rods? It was a beautiful Friday summer evening to be out on the water. J.J.

Report Sat. 6/8, Finally got back out after two weekends of tough winds. Set up 2:30pm 60 fow se heading out of the harbor, fished 60-105 fow with a few fish here and there. After two hours we were 3-4 with 2 coho and a laker and didn't know if we should move or keep picking away at the fish we found? We went with don't leave fish to find fish and stayed and worked the 60-90 fow area we caught the first two cohos until our gps tracks looked like a bowl of spaghetti. We were 8 for 12 with the sun setting trolling back towards port when we hit a double in 48 fow to finish our two man limit 10-14 9-coho 1-laker. Ran all standard coho stuff but a #00 green and white glow dodger and a light green fly was the hot rig taking nearly half the hits. That was on a dipsey #2/28 loc right behind the boat and the short dipsey on the other side caught a few also. J.J.

Going out tomorrow afternoon to the hills 50,60,70..., will report but I predict a big weekend out there from the other anglers. Good luck be safe, J.J.
