Shifting winds may have played a role, but in any case there were few bites. 1 for 2. Lost the first in 85 fow, straight out. 150 copper strangely returned a mixed veggie magnum minus the hook and split ring. I think the fish, I’ll call him Houdini, was soon showing off his lates piercing. Never had that happen before. Trolled for 3 more hours before throwing in the towel. When we popped the last rigger line, it popped back. My son was pleased. Raspberry dolphin with orange back, down 85. Thank you dear lake, till we meet again.

Thanks for the report. You have dinner and then some! Hope to try in the am. Where are the cohos??

Wow! Was out there with you. Went too deep to 130. Took a coho on a rigger down 35, orange dodger, green fly. One tip on a pearl meat rig but gone in 10 seconds. Very bouncy to say the least, quit at 1030. Got out just after sunup. Called for the Reel Woman on 10 and 68. Sorry I missed you, as a good report would have brought more confidence than fear. Lol. maybe next weekend

Went for the calm seas of the south end in search of fat coho. 270ish heading and set up in 80 fow. Took a fatty on rigger orange dodger green fly down and back 35. Lost another heavy on 200 copper on silver green dodger and green fly. Big steelie at 90 fow on rigger jagerbomb spoon back 70 down 50. 8# king on 150 copper magnum frog spoon. Another Ho on the orange dodger green fly rigger. Made another pass and took a coho on an orange spoon free slider on the rigger down 50. foolishly left fish to find fish after hearing a report of action 120-140 fow. Made it to 125 without a hit. Called it a day. Hope to go again tomorrow.

Pointed into the waves south west this am to 130 fow. Rode the back N NE. One king on 200 cu, Carmel dolphin in 125. Dancing steelie in 120, 100 Cu, mixed Frog magnum. No other hits.

Well on my way this evening to a good old fashioned skunk. Then suddenly as the sun hit the water, while we were in 150 fow, fire drill. 2 coho rigger , orange spoon slider, rigger down 50. Small king, same orange spoon, and then a crazy jumping 8#steelie on a blue dolphin rigger, down 45.

I’m in 116 fow right now without a hit. Probably shoulda started where the reel woman had success. No fish yet but an unbelievably gorgeous evening in SOHO. Definitely the luckiest guy in the world.

Wow! What a great day! Thanks very much for the report!

Beautiful fish for a beautiful family! Thanks for reporting, and the great pics!

All that action , and dinner too! A day with a full range of fishing emotions. Makes you know you are alive! Probably a solid hookup on your newbie friend! Thanks for the report.

Sorry I’ll miss you. Have a great day on the lake! I’ll be back Thursday. As a creature of habit, I tend to set up in 50 fow about 5 miles north, aim west, hope for a fish, and stay till they quit. 90 fow was good for me this week. Someday I’ll apply more science, but for now, this keeps me from getting lost lol.

Sorry I’ll miss you. Have a great day on the lake!

Short trip today, fishing from 0630-1000hrs. King 2 Carmel dolphin 200 copper. King 1 Frog on 150 copper. Both in 90 fow. Thankful for another gorgeous morning.

Blessed with the best weather I can recall (aging memory). Different day out of Soho today. No flies, yesterday lots. 3 kings in 90 fow. All 3 on blue dolphin back 70 and down 40. So nice to feel the pull of a chinook once more. Luckiest guy in the world!
