    Finding silver fish has been hard since the spring. Set out yesterday at 4:00pm to fish 200+ FOW with a top water steelhead spread. Went 1 for 3. Did not find any steelhead but as luck would have it, a 23lb King hit a 10-color leadcore on a board with a holographic mag spoon (either a DW or MS, yellow and blue on opposite edges). Strike came on 210 FOW, east troll, 2.6mph on the Depth Raider. Female plant, stomach was empty. Spouse was hoping for salmon steaks tonight, happy I could deliver. BTW, I marked nothing suspended all evening. Fin Warrior Holland

    I also gave it a go out of Holland yesterday from noon to 4:30pm. Covered from 110 to 230 FOW. Not a bump. Marked next to nothing beyond 140'. 48 degree water was down about 100'. What little warm water there is, is piled up on the Michigan shore. Fin Warrior

    Worked 170 to 240 FOW, 42o 42’ to 42o 44’ Lat. between 1:30 & 5:30 with a 6 rod steelhead program. Got bit 8X and would up 2 for 5, both steelhead. Slide divers 30'-40' down saw most of the action with Greasy Chicken Wing, Monkey Puke and Green Dolphin on a copper blank spoon getting most of the action. Basically copper/gold was the menu ticket. Had one big screamer on a dodger/crystal fly that came off after taking at least 200' of line out. Never got a chance to fight the fish, it had the upper hand the entire time. Counted 10 alewifes inside the mature male steelhead. Annoying black flies were still around.
