Took some friends out sat morning and was hoping the fish were still going like crazy. Well they were still going but the action slowed from past weeks. We set up in 130 west of the south reef and headed east. We trolled back and forth over the reef and had a steady pick with only one double. Surface temp was around 41 and we found fish from 100 feet down to the top 20 fow. We also took fish from 105 to 170 fow and could not find a set pattern. All fish came on dodger or flasher flie combos with the exception of 1 coho on a #3 silver j-plug. We wound up going 13 for 17. The hottest set up was a 8in. green glow prochip pulling a bluegreen hypnotist trophy fly out 220 on a wire dipsey. This setup again took the largest fish a 7 pound king. The cohos are definatley getting chunkier as we took 4 in the 5# range. We also took a fish on one of opti tackles new inticer flashers in black with crushed glow tape on one side with silver on the other pulling a purple embossed trophy fly.

Thanks for the report Matt! Do you think the lake being stirred up on Thursday had anything to do with the fishing being slower?

I think it had a lot to do with the fishing slowing down. I told the guys when they wanted to go not to expect the same action we have been having. I think the reason we did as well as we did was because we have been fishing over deep water. If it had been a shalow bite and we went back to the same spots that were producing before the big blow I don't think we would have done as well.
