 Fishing has been great!  The full moon is ending and the fish are biting very well.  The fish don’t start to bite u til the sun starts to come up.  80-100 fow, north trolls have been best lately.  Lots of current so running very fast to the north 3.0-3.4 then run very slow 2.0-2.3 to the south.  Riggers down 50-70 with spoons and spinny flies, high divers back 170-200 low divers back 90-100 all with a mix of meat and flies.  200,225,250,325,350,400 coppers have all been active with mainly 8.00 paddles and flies.  The

 The week after the lake flip has been pretty go so far.  We have been fishing from 70-140 fow.  Starting inside early then moving out as the day goes.  Mainly paddles and flies on the medium to lower coppers 250-400.  Probably not worth running many coppers above this as the fish seem to be in the bottom 2/3 of the water column early then maybe the bottom half of the water column as you go deeper to the 100-140 fow.  Mix of meat and flies on the divers have been working.  High divers back 160-200 and low divers back 90-110.  Riggers down 50-70 have been active, mainly the slides as there are a lot of cohos around.

 The lake has warmed up from the blow over the weekend.  With temperatures from top to bottom of the lake being around the 70 degree mark.  You can start to find colder water on the bottom of the lake as you get deeper.  The 180-240 fow has been producing good numbers of fish you just have to to get the lines deep enough to get to them.  High divers back 300-400 with meat flies and low divers 200-250 back with meat and flies have been quite good.  Riggers have been really good down 100-150 and just off bottom.  The rigger just off bottom has been the best rod on the boat.  If you have coppers 350 or deeper maybe they will go but they have been fairly inactive.

 Salmon fishing continues to be good when the weather allows us to get out.  Fish are being found in 160-220 FOW mainly below 100ft.  Riggers and wire divers have been most productive with a combination of flasher flies and meat rigs.  Looks like more rough weather over the weekend but hope to be back out Sunday and Monday.
