Sister-in-law wanted some fish so decided to try Lake Sammamish for the second time. Began fishing at 7:15 am using an Elgin Fishing God's Tooth kokanee trolling rig available at Reli lures. Pattern I chose to start with was the 50/50 blue and NO BAIT was used today. God blessed with 11 fish and lost a few more. After catching about 6 fish on that pattern, I switched to a homemade 50/50 pink moon jelly and caught another one. Lastly, I put on a perch pattern and caught another 4. Called it quits at 12:15 pm. I used a 14" leader from trailing hook to dodger and 50' setbacks. All fish were caught at a depth of 50'.

The video below shows some of the action for the day. Wishing all tight lines!

Thanks for posting the video. Nice job netting by yourself. A bit tricky, but you have the system down well. I usually don't use bait either. Haven't seen it improve the catch rate at all. What speed did you troll with the spoons?

Guessing between 1.5 and 2.0mph depending on wind.

Looks like you are getting that lake dialed in a bit. Nice day and video again!
