Even though the Salmon are here, the fishing is still inconsistant. We have had south or East wind now for a few days, and it has filled the eastern basin with cold water. The temp. is down 40 - 50 ft. right now, which is too shallow. We should be fishing in about 100 fow of water right now. The fish are close to the river and they are acting weird. One trip is good, and the next poor. A light west wind is needed to pull the fish back out from shore a little. The best lures have been #4 green glow j-plug, white chip/glow hammer and frog spin dr./hypnotyst.

Spending 100 hrs. a week on a boat, can make a guy tired. Sorry for the lack of reports lately. We will try to do a couple a week till the end of September. Oh do we have Salmon. The 70 - 80 ft. line from the Salmon River to Monterio Point, is LOADED. They still aren’t biting as well as we want……..Yet. That will change though. White chips, Green chips, Black Spin dr’s, Chartruse chips and Hammer, Glow Hammer and Mirage flies all have worked well.

Big difference in the Salmon fishing today. It’s amazing what happens when the weather stabilizes. We have been seeing Kings now for a week and catching minimal numbers. Today, they bit. In the am, we were in 165 fow off the Sandy Pond area. The fish came down 130 - 140ft. On green chips with Hammer flies. In the afternoon we had to slide into 120 fow and a little south. The green chip/Hammer and white chip/glow Hammer combos as well as a green Hoochie/Hammer and green Spin Dr./ Hypnotist worked well. The weather should be stable now for a few days. We will see what happens.

Will the wind please stop blowing!!! I can’t remember a summer this stormy. Bad weather this weekend, resulted in bad fishing. Low numbers of Salmon aren’t helping either. We moved around a lot the last few days. We saw fish in a few spots, but they wouldn’t stay long enough for us to really work them. The action we did have, was in 125 fow west of the Salmon River and up north, Lake View, in 100 fow. The best lures were green chips with either the Hypnotyst, Hammer or Sweetpea flies. Some of the Michigan’s are still working also.

We went to the south shore today for browns. Once again it was a safe move, but not great fishing. In the afternoon, we went north. We got a tip that we followed up on, and the Salmon were there. We couldn’t do much with them, but they are there. Green chip with sweetpea fly, Perch Michigan and Blueberry Muffin were the best lures.

Well, storms kept us off the lake again on Monday. We were able to get them out Tuesday morning instead. Fishing was very slow. We started off the trip by hooking into a 24lb. King a only 15 min. into the trip. We caught the fish in 65 degree water ( she must have been lost ). It bit a stingray sized Mongoose on the wire with 270 ft. of string out. We then waited a very long time for the next bite. Slow to say the least. It must stop storming. It is really very simple. Inconsistent weather, inconsistent fishing. Oh well, we are dealt what God gives us right. It’s ok. It helps to build character. Wednesday, we started for Kings. Not being able to find them, we decided to try our luck for browns for the last part of the trip. It was the right move. We landed a bunch of great fish before…once again… we got chased in by lightening. The trout came in 104 fow off the five stacks ( ALCAN ). The Perch stingray Michigan, Blueberry Muffin and a Green chip with the Sweet pea fly all worked well.

Well, the fishing on Thursday, was very good. We stayed in for browns and did well with them. We also managed to catch a bonus 28 lb. King. Lots of bait and fish in the Catfish Creek area. Friday, we never left the dock. Severe lightening, that would’nt go away, kept us off the water all day. We got back out Saturday and it was very tough. We managed to land a few browns, but had to work really hard for them. Today, we fished hard all day, to land 8 browns. We had more that that on, but had the dropsies. We are fishing 115 - 125 fow right now. Deeper than we would like for trout, but we are catching some. Hope the Salmon show up soon.

Great job Betty. It was a pleasure fishing with you.

Hard to tell from the photo, but it was so rough that we had the ladies sit on the cooler to fight the fish. Standing wasn’t an option.
The big waves, and I do mean big, weren’t a problem for Betty and her daughter on Wednesday. We went over just east of Nine Mile point and set up for browns. The blueberry muffin, glow alwive and perch Michigans all worked and we landed some nice fish. We were fishing down around 100 ft. Hope the wind stops soon. We are sick of getting beat up.

Once again on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, the wind blew. We went up north again on Sunday only to get chased off before the end of our trip. We made up the time with them on Monday morning. The fishing was real good Sunday, but a little tougher the next day. On Monday, we weren’t able to go way north due to the wind direction. We went over to the Catfish area instead. The fishing was a little slower than the day before. The stinger Mongoose, glow Alwive and Lighthouse spoons worked well. 85-95 fow was the place to be in both spots.

Well, we took the ride north to Stony in search of browns. We did find them, and what do you know, they bit. We had a great day today, landing 25 fish on three trips. 85-100 fow was the place to be. The hot lures were the Michigan Stinger Lighthouse, Perch and Glow Alwive. Wires were back 225 ft and 260 ft. The riggers 92-100 ft down. We got chased in a little early this afternoon due to wind, but we will be back up there tomorrow.
