"Pick Your Species"


It's a great time to be able to pick which species of fish you would like to target. Perch are hitting like mad in and out of the harbors, so catch them before the waters become too warm and they move offshore. I do Perch charters B.T.W. (season closes for July) The King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Browns, and Steelhead, are in shallow water (46 to 58 feet) and are hitting spoons and flies down 20 feet to the bottom. The shallow, Spring patterns are not worth running anymore because the surface temperatures have risen, so put out your lead lines (3 colors to 10 colors out behind the birds)
The Lake Trout are outside of 90 feet, but best is about 110 feet to 120 feet. Big chrome dodgers with a green fly 20 feet behind the ball (on the bottom) has been working best recently. As the waters warm the Salmon and Trout will be all in the same area and the Perch will be on some of the off-shore reefs that are miles from shore.
