Started out right in front of the chute in 30 FOW. Found a few marks but the weeks worth of wind had temps at 64 degrees top to bottom and we couldn't get them to go. We started working our way out and had a blank screen and 64 degrees as deep as 150' all the way out to 380 FOW. Once we hit 380, there was 55 degree water down 150' and there were lots of marks and bait. We worked 380-425FOW for the rest of the day and had consistent action there. We ended up with a very nice mixed bag of silver & dark Kings, Steelhead, and even a Smallmouth Bass that took a spoon off a rigger down 120'. Our most productive riggers were at 150' and 165' and our wire divers kept us busy when they were set at 380' & 450' on a #2 setting. That gold Northern King NBK I've been running lately in both green & yellow fired multiple times for us, and our best paddle/fly was a green holo/crushed glow Spin Dr. pulling a Siggs Rigs Green Crinkle fly.
Wish we could've gotten back out there this morning. After a week's worth of wind I'd guess that the fishing is gonna be pretty hot today & tomorrow out where we were yesterday.

Here's those two Northern King gold series NBK's that have been so hot for us the past month or so:








When we got done fishing we pulled all the gear off the boat and took it over to be stored for the winter. What a great season....I can't believe it's done for us.

I know....I'm really still wanting to fish some more, but family obligations and pre-season ski shows are on the calendar in the next few weeks, so it was time to pull the plug on the season. My new skis & boots arrived yesterday so I'm starting to get psyched for colder weather.



Gotta shoot the big 10 point that I've been seeing on the farm I hunt first though!

Glad to post the reports. Back before I was on the lake full time, forums like this were my main source of info and could make or break my trip for the weekend. I'll also be chasing some trib steelies this fall!

And I'm already making plans for my trips out West to ski this winter!
