TOPIC:

Went out of the ditch this morning to attempt trolling for salmon and trout in close due to the cooler water, marked a lot of fish near the surface, some down about 30-45 feet or so in about 45-50 feet of water, mostly before first light, then it seemed most marks were not far below the surface. Tried J-Plugs, Flicker Shads, J-11, Flicker Minnow, some spoons, but a J-13 in a green minnow with the bleeding gills pattern and red bill on a Yellow Bird got the hit, ended up being a 7lb steelhead caught not too far below the surface. Had a decent hint of pink on the sides, was a fun catch, it ran from one side of the boat to the other and by some miracle, did not tangle in any of our other lines. Might have had a couple more bites but nothing that ended up being of any consequence. Very thankful for what we got and for a great morning on the water. 




 

Thanks for the report
