A Great Day Fishing




On Tuesday (7-1-08) we enjoyed great weather, calm water and cooperative fish. For the third year, we had a group from the Twin-Cities area that comes over every year for a family vacation. We were setting lines by 5:00 am, and had our first fish around 5:45. The fish were not jumping in the boat, but the action was frequent enough to keep everyone from catching a nap.

We fished on the East side of the nets, and started right in front of Two Rivers. We trolled South in 140 fow and kept the lures down in 120 - 130 depth. The salmon are feeding on the schools of bait fish, every time we marked bait fish, a downrigger released. We went 11 for 14.

As for lures, large green flashers (mudflaps) with green flys with any combination of additional color. Most of out fish came on downriggers, but one came on a dipsey, and one on a pumphandle.

Thanks again Gregg, Chris, Killian, and Willie, we enjoyed the fishing trip.
