Fishin_Freak Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Figured since the end of the world was going to be today... that my buddy and his friend and I might as well be on the water fishing when it does!!! Ended up going 10 for 15 on the day with 1 coho (2 lbs)... 1 king (11 lbs)... 1 steelhead (6 lbs)... and 7 lake trout (all nice trout from 7 lbs to 11 lbs). We fished waters 5 to 8 miles north and not another boat came close to us all day. We actually were kind of working on our lake trout program trying some new things and were not disappointed. We targeted lake trout in the 50-70 FOW range but did work out to 110 to see what was there. Did not mark any fish outside of 90 FOW. With a somewhat stiff SE breeze at times we decided not to go out to 130 to 180 where we heard there were more silver fish. Water temps ranged from 46.9 to 48.5. King, coho, steelhead, and 2 lake trout came on spoons. Other lake trout came on setups we ran specifically for lake trout. One final note... the steelhead was a bright silver fish that was absolutely filled with bugs of all sorts... and oh yeah... it also had a BIRD in its stomach!!!! Happy Day After The End Of The World To All!!!
Just Hook'n Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Nice job. I wondered if those little birds that land on the water ever get gobbled up by steelhead hitting bugs on the surface.
