yes, yesterday was a tough day of fishing indeed. we found our keeper sized fish at about 45 feet yesterday, which would be exactly correct according to the grapevine (rmraushcer?). we only fished trout for 90 minutes on the north end after we fished for smallmouth. we ended with 2 nice sized fish and 2 dinks that went back.

First time poster here. We were at Sammamish that same day you were. I think you passed us with your hands held high in the air. I was in a small 10 foot grey inflatable with two people in it with downrigger‘s. I had a fish on right after you passed us . It was slow for us in the morning but once we found the right color combo we could not keep them off And had to stop using bait (chunk of nightcrawler with a little dick night DNA Kokanee sauce. probably caught about 20 fish that day most of them being in the 15-16 inch range. A couple were were in the 12 inch range. The most productive one was a chartreuse and copper tractor tread dick night dodger With a radical glow Double UV spinner in the chartreuse color. On the other set up we had a 4 inch chartreuse ice sling blade with a radical glow double UV spinner in lime green. The first set up produced the most. Most were caught 35 to 40 feet on the downrigger with a 30 foot setback. But I was just using an electric trolling motor.. most work hard 35 to 40 feet on the downrigger with a 30 foot setback. But I was just using an electric trolling motor. We couldn’t decide whether to go to Washington or some hours that morning glad we picked Sammamish will have to try Lake Washington next time. I always seem to do better at Sammamish. Best of luck and tight lines. Hope to see you out there again.
