We left east Chicago at about 2:15 into a rough subsiding lake. We fished for about 3 hours before getting a bite. We found a nice pod of fish in 98 fow that we just made tight figure 8s over. We ended up with 10 coho and a 10lbs class steelhead. Recommendations when you get out cover water once you get a couple bites quickly circle back over that spot. There are good pods of fish but they are small in size with a lot of dead water around them. Spoons did very well on my long lines and sliders. Best bait was a size 0 dodger with 2” fly on the wire diver back 55 on a 2.5.
It's better to ask forgiveness than for permission.
