Weather was so nice had to take a day off to go fishing.

Launched at 830 and headed out to 150 and set lines. Caught one setting lines, and then picked away at fish until 200, then hit a pod and decided to circle around it. Fish definitely seemed scattered from 100 to 200 ft. Saw a couple porpoising on the chalkline in 95-100 ft on our way in. Ended up with 4 steelhead, 8 cohos, and 3 or 4 lake trout. Most fish came on flat lines with thin fins, with no particular color better than the others. Short cores and spoons were not great, dipsies took nothing. Rigger down 150 with a blue bubble spin doctor and blue fly caught the biggest coho, after we noticed a fair number of fish down 150 in 200 ft of water. Fish were full of mysis (shrimp)

Lots of bugs and black flies closer to shore
