tbromund Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We fished the LOTSA Curt Meddaugh Memorial Prefish Tournament and LOTSA Club Salmon Tournament on Friday and Saturday and Fishing fcontinues to be out of this world out of Olcott. East and NE winds didn't quite cause an upwelling, but it brought the down temp inshore up high. we had low 70's on the surface and 40-44 deg down 45-50 feet both days, with temp getting a little deeper as you headed offshore. Best fishing was in 100-200 fow, mostly in the top 50 feet. Spoons and flasher flies were both going off regularly so there really didn't seem to be a preference for one over the other. We landed 20+ on Friday and over 30 on Saturday. I couldn't even begin to tall you now many bites we had. Doubled up repeatedly both days and had 1 triple on Sat. The highlight of the weekend was a 29 lb king that hit an NBK stingray first thing Saturday morning as we were letting the starboard wire diver creep out (1st rod out) and the fish hit as it was creeping out with maybe 70' of wire out and took the line counter over 550 on it's initial run. That fish is currently sitting in 9th place on the LOC leaderboard and also took 2nd place in the LOTSA Tourny. Lots of steelhead in tight in that pocket of cold water. Colors: lots of green and chrome and mirage type flasher/fly combos, green and purple spoons, dalmatian spinny/hammer fly on a 200 copper went repeatedly both days. Riggers were at 45 and 35 and took a ton of shots. fleas were pretty bad in there both days. At the LOC Weigh Station nice king from Friday Oh yeah, and ah, where have we seen THIS before Fun time to be on the lake. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
