westrate Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 7/29/2007What a week of fishing!!! This might be the best fishing that we have seen in the last 15 years. Limit catches on every trip and many days we caught 20 to 23 in 2 hours. And the amazing thing is that these are not 2 year old salmon but 3 and 4 year olds that are pushing 20 pounds. The fish are staged in 70 to 120 foot of water from 40 to the bottom. There was also some reports of limit catches on steelhead in 140 to 160 foot of water in the top 30 foot. The best combination is the Smart Fish flasher by Legendary Products and Pro Chip and Hot Chip flashers by Pro Troll with Rapture Tolling flies pulled behind them. These were pulled on the downriggers and on the dipsy divers at 160 foot and 120 foot of wire. The following combinations proved very effective:--Chrome Pro Chip with Rapture Wild Fern--Chrome Green Pro Chip with Rapture Sour Apple--Chrome Blue Hot Chip with Rapture ocean and Rapture Blue Bird--Glow Green Hot Chip with Rapture Last Supper--Chrome Blue Smartfish flasher with Rapture Oceana--Chrome Green Smartfish flasher with Rapture HypnotistThe copper line (100, 150 and 200 foot) with in line boards also produced well with Wonderbread Glow, blue Cory's bait, Reverse X-mas, NBK Stingrays and the E.T. Nitro.If we do not see any major changes in the water temperature, I think the fish will stay in the summer staging area. They should stay just outside the schools of bait. They may move up or down in the water column, but should remain in the same depth of water.
