I'm relatively new to fishing but I'm having fun getting started. Thursday morning my wife & I went out of Manistee at 6:00 and fishing was slow. At 8:30 got a 25 inch Lake Trout in 180 FOW down 35 ft on a rigger with a Big Weenie large paddle flasher & fly. Around 9:30 we picked up a 10 lb King on a similar Flasher Fly combo at 60 ft down in 150 FOW. Finshed catching at 10:30 with a 7 lb King on a 200ft cooper and a Mixed Veggie Spoon. It wasn't a great day but for our third time out we were happy.

Whoopee Tyee
