Black Pearl 8/19

 Last post of the year for us as our final trips will be this week.  Fishing has been good in 60-90ft early and late.  110-140 has been better late AM and afternoon.  Our catches remain mainly king salmon with a handful of coho, lake trout and steelhead.  Riggers 50-70 down with glow spoons and paddles early take a few bites.  Blood Run wire divers back 150-210 on highs and 90-120 on lows have been consistent with meat rigs.  150-400 coppers have been producing with plugs on higher coppers and flasher flys on 300-400s.  Have a great rest of the season!

Black Pearl 8/4

 Salmon fishing was outstanding over the past two weeks leading up to a north blow that caused a turnover in the lake.  Fishing remains good with catches consisting of mainly king salmon with a few coho and steelhead.  Fish are scattered from the beach out to 200ft.   3-7 color leadcores with spoons and plugs are taking fish early/late.  250-400 coppers with flasher/flies are productive after the morning flurry.  Blood Run wire divers 100-210 on highs and 80-140 on lows are taking fish with Big Weenie meat rigs.  Spotted Dick has been very good on a low diver or deep rigger.  South blow this week will hopefully set the water back up.
