Lines in at 6:45 at 145 fow. First fish at 8:15, 22 lb lake trout. White flasher fly down 110. Second fish at 8:45, 5 lb king on 100 copper orange tuxedo gold. And that's it. Fished from 145 fow to 250 fow and now working back in. Dropped some flasher flies 150+ on the downrigger. Will see what happens. In 175 fow now.

Bait may be slightly delayed on the spawn. Could keep the kings around longer into June. Could mean a delayed run in August September? -
