Dad brother and I finally made our first trip this year. Took some time in the morning at the slip getting everything ready.

Fished 30-45 fow south troll down to the A frames.
Best depth was 35-40 but heard of some guys closer to shore on fish that were on bait.
9 rods 4 planers 3 riggers and 2 dipseys. Went 6-7 and a couple quick strikes.
4 coho 17-21"
1 steelie 17"
1 kings (wild) 12 lbs. Dad had the opportunity to fight him and it made our day.
Best rod was a ss mixed veggies off the rigger 15 down and 10 back.

Nice work Tim! Great King

Good job. Always a bonus to catch fish on the first trip of the season.

Were trying to take more videos this year of our trips.

Here is the video my brother uploaded on youtube of the king.

Nice going ...

Poorboy

Great report. Seems like most of the action lately has been down that way. Just wish the Coho would show up closer to the piers so I could get to some in my kayak. Managed a couple steelhead on Brad's thin fins last Thursday night close to shore, but I am eager to hook into some spring Coho.

Should be anytime. The lake doesnt want to warm up this year

Well this forecast sure won't help things

ugly isnt it?

We were in as in water as cold as 34 degrees and as warm as 45 in the lake. River was 54
