The cold water is still close to shore, but the fish seem to be scattered.Took My father out on the big pond today , he has never caught a Salmon before. Left the launch at 1pm headed east to 45 ft, not very far. Set 9 rods 6 lead core 2 riggers and 1 dipsey. Being the middle of the day I figured that we get a fish or two , out for about a half hour and five color goes off, pull the rod and hand it off to my father. picked up a nice 8 lb king , get fish in the boat and Dad says is that rod suppose to be standing up straight? yea I said ,then looking up realized that it was the rigger and I thought he was talking about the lead core rod. 7lb king on a chrome green dot sd and a Mag tinsel fly. set at 45 down and 50 back.Ten minutes later 7 color start screaming ,Nick takes this one turns out to be the biggest of the trip at 12lb. Blue dolphin takes another one.

7 and five colors were the next 2 to go off , lost both , Dad really had fun couldn't budge the fish before spitting out the bait. Same thing happens to me on a blue chilly wily. The next 2 fish came on one of the spoons my wife picked out . a purple muffin. When she pick it out at Gander another gentle man kind of chucked and said to her would you bite it , we all had a laugh at that, only now shes laughing because her spoon has taken most of the fish since we bought it. Had a fun time with my father and son today . Just hope the weather and the cold water stay around for a while.
