There were storms in the distance and 2-4 foot waves, but it ended up to be a good fishing trip last night.  Paul and I fished from 6:30 to 9 pm in 100 to 135 FOW and ended 3 of 4, with some nice fish!  We took a 12 lb steelhead 55 down on a bloody nose magnum.  Then a nice 15 king on full lead core with Green Dolphin Glow.  The last fish, a 10 lb king came on a slider with a small orange and green spoon.  We didn't run any flies or dypsies.

 Paul and I fished from 7 to 9:30 on Saturday night in 80 to 120 FOW and ended 2 for 4.  A 7 lb steelhead on full core came on a green, silver, and orange pro-king spoon.  Then a 6 lb king on full core on a greasy chicken wing.  Only 2 other boats on the water but it was a little bouncy and raining.

I went ahead and topped off the supply of fish for the today's picnic at our marina.  I took Ryan and is buddy Jeff out last night and we did a lot of driving around, but ended up 3 for 3, and all the fish were trout.  We were all over the place starting in 80 FOW and going out to 205 FOW.  We picked up fish in 135, 185, and 110.  A 11 lb steelhead and a 6 lb lake trout came on a silver/green with orange on back pro-king spoon.  The other 3 lb steelhead hit on a 4 color lead with white pro-king spoon with an orange ladder back.  The lake was pretty shloppy to start but calmed down a little as the night went on.  No Flies!  no bites on flies either...  Boats on the radio weren't having much luck.  One that did OK was 3 of 4 and got there action in 185-210.  Today looks like a great day to be out there.  Happy 4th and good luck!

 Jim and I went out last night in hopes of topping off my 4th of July supply of fish for the grill.  It was a slow night but we went 2 for 3 on some really nice Steelhead!  The first one and probably the biggest, came on the down rigger and got off the line after putting on a great airshow.  The next two, each about 12 lbs, came on full lead cores.  One spoon was a NBK and the other was the same Green Dolphin glow that has been doing so well this year.  The fish came around 100 FOW.  Surprisingly, there were no other boats on the water last night.  Although it was a windy and wavy afternoon, the lake calmed down after 6pm and there were only 1-2 footers on the lake by the end of the night, and with the nice breeze the flies were gone.
