My son and I started fishing at 8:30am and he, of course, had a fish in the boat within about 2 minutes. We fished until noon.

The water temperature was 60-62 degrees. Air temperature was about 60 when the wind wasn’t breezing through. It was partly cloudy.

We both had 2 rods. We were 18 feet on downrigger and went as far down as 30 feet. My son’s second rod was longlined with about 1/2oz weight on the line. When I finally started catching fish, I put weight on and longlined mine, too. My son used both lures green. I used a green and a pink one.

We were using worm and corn until we ran out of worms. My son was doing so well I thought “I stink”. So, I put scent on my bait and within 2 minutes had one on. We had several doubles. Once my son had a double on his side of the boat. My son kept losing a lot of his so, he asks if the hooks get dull. Yep, they do.

Did you see the strange fish hanging with the trout on the video?

On screen, were there a lot of schools or were they all dispersed in smaller groups or alone? Couldn't tell on the video (valuable- thanks!) as I'm researching their behavior since they added 8500 RB's (10-13") two weeks before you fished that lake; https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/reports/stocking/trout-plants?lake_stocked=CLEAR+LK+%28PIER%29&county=&species=&hatchery=®ion=

I know about the plants. One reason to fish it versus American. They also planted 1300 one pounders. I found them in small groups. Only one large school that I caught on camera. I knew the downrigger camera went through it but it was dead. At the end of the day. The camera still recording was the longlined one but it was too far away to tell what they were.
