Finally got out on the big lake today out of New Buffalo and happy to say everything is in working order. We fished NE of the reef from 7:30 - 11:00 and it was real slow. Had a couple of Trout come off at the boat and landed an 18.5# King. It hit a Green fly behind a Green Frog Spin Dr. it was on a wire diver out 46’ on a 2 setting. Not a bad first fish of the year!! Wonder how the tournament teams did today?

Good looking King! Thanks for the report.

Great pic! Thanks for the report.

Tournament teams did real good today. Extremely impressive weigh in today.
The pros is led by a 161lb bag of 10 kings
The amateur is led by a 98lb 5 fish bag of kings
Tons and tons of kings weighed in today. Supposedly over by where baron was fishing...maybe a bit more up the coast

Yeah I saw that also and there were quite a few boats in the general area we fished. It struck me that we had too many “Coho” baits in the water. Lol. Probably if I had the day to do over I’d have some meat rigs and some 100’ coppers with rotator / fly combos to get a few more Kings going. Apparently the Coho have abandoned the area. We had Thin Fins and Dodger flys going with without a sniff.

Can't beat that for first fish of the year!!
