Hit the north side of I-90 from 11:00am to 1:00pm. I dragged a flasher and hoochie combo for an hour with no luck then switched over to a Brad’s Mini Cut Plug loaded with a strip of squawfish. Had three hookups in the next hour and managed to get two of them into the boat. The popular depth was 20’ down on the rigger. Wind was pretty stiff and coming from the southwest, glad to have the TR1 on board and steering for me! The lake is full pool, surface temps are at the 60 degree mark and the water has a green tinge from the algae bloom, it’s go time. The fish I kept was 16.5” long and went 2.5lbs, quite the porker and she had recently been feeding on salmonoids. I didn’t make it down to the south end to see if last week’s slide on the Cedar had colored up that part of lake.

Just a quick reminder, the east and west channels of the 520 bridge are both open to boat traffic.
