Sorry guys, the fish have moved off-shore...

The charter began one mile away from the Wilson Crib and by the time I set 16 lines there were already 16 fish in the box! The browns were coming down 10-14 feet on the riggers and the coho were right on the surface. Spoons were working, but flies seem to take most of the cohos. By the time we got to the "T" marker there were 30 fish in the cooler. mostly cohos, but some real large browns mixed in.

Fish'in Time!

WE went out yesterday for several hours and found the cohos and browns in a few places. Navy Pier is holding a huge amount of fish. The "slush line", just inside of the cribs , is also holding many fish. The surface patterns, dodgers/small flies, and spoons fished down 5 feet, back 40 feet, on the riggers with orange spoons, is working well for cohos, The browns are down 10-18 feet feeding on spoons that resemble Gobies(brown/gold/black). SLOW is the way to go (!.8-2.1 knots, S.O.G)


The shore guys are having a tough time since the water warmed up.

Cohos on the surface!

The cohos are hitting all along the lakefront! Small flies with orange dodgers are working best. Spoons and body baits are also working, but everything is coming on the surface on planners!

The Coho's are Here!!!!

We went out yesterday and trolled around Montrose using spoons and body-baits. All the fish were taken on the surface with yellow-birds, either spoons or rapalas, no flies. Orange and chartreuse being the colors of choice.

Charters begin next week so it's time to book your trips!
