This week we started fishing steelhead, coho, and kings in 180-230 FOW, and ended fishing kings and lake trout in 80-100 FOW. The catches at the end of the week were some of the heaviest boxes of fish this season and include 20+ pound kings in every catch. Best baits were pearl black dot and chrome Ace HI plugs on the high coppers. On the deeper coppers we caught fish on the live wire and white double glow Protroll 8" flashers with wild fern flies. The Diver produced fish daily with white mtn. dew, live wire, white glow and blue wiggle Protrolls. Lake trout were biting on chrome and trash can Goldstar dodgers pulled on the bottom with green spin and glows.
