Met at 5:30am and on the water by 7:30am with Kokanee_Slayer. He predicted I would get the first fish and I did. I used Dick Nite Pink Splatters (again) and a Dick Nite Chartreuse Hot Head just to be different along with Wannafish A Lure Pink Splatter and a Wannafish A Lure green lure I am trying out. It got one fish on it but the all the rest were on the Pink Splatters combo.
I caught fish from top to 48 feet deep in about 250 feet of water. I lost track of how many silvers I caught and released. I do know that they will bite non-baited lures but not as fast as baited. They also liked garlic. The sizes of the fish were from 13 to 15 inches.
The weather was very nice. Air temp was about 60, cloudy, and the water was smooth. The wind kicked up about 9:30am when it brought with it a small squall as I got my last fish in and we quit for the day.


We are in a battle! Angler against fish! We need an arsenal of weapons and at my site you will find some of those different weapons.
For all those who wannafish a lure come in and take a look at WannafishALure.com

so from your hot spot mark you were away from the dam - any issues with the parasites in your fish (they look great BTW, have grown a few inches from my earlier trip)

@ Red Beard I do know that. It has changed.:-) @Mike I looked for them this time and didn't find any but I did catch a fish I didn't keep that was bloated. A LOT. I suspected the parasites were healthy in that fish.

I had some very fat coho from there and no parasites. They are healthy as it is not in the meat. So aslong as you filet your catch you are golden!

Nice silver catch! Every time I read a Riffe report with pics, it makes my mouth water to get down there. Some day.
