High winds and seas produce unfishable waters


Recommended Posts

It seems that ever day brings 3 foot seas or larger which challenges a persons ability to land fish. We never did get a chance to fish Saturday or Sunday because of the rough conditions. The salmon and lake trout are still in the 80 to 120 foot of water, however landing a 15 pounder in 5 foot seas is very difficult. Every day this week we caught fish from 80 (and some times 60) foot of water out to 130 foot of water. The best depth continues to be 100 to 110 foot, however the wind dictated which direction and which depth we could fish throughout the week.

Once again it was Hot chip and Pro chip flashers and Rapture flies that produced 90% of the catch. The other 10% came on “meat†and Silver Horde plugs. The divers did well with silver/green, blue wiggle, white/glow and sliver flasher’s and the best fly was the frosted fern and purple no see um. The glow green, silver red head and wonderbread Silver Horde plugs produced on 400 and 300 foot of copper. The “meat†was pulled on the bottom behind 11 in white/glow and white/blue bubble Hot chip flashers with Rapture glow Twinkie flies and a Pro Troll rotating bait head.

Check back next week and see if the winds and seas have calmed and if the fish start to move in. For information or charter reservations, contact me at [email protected]
