Headed back down to Lake Samammish on Friday and Saturday. It seems like it sometimes takes most of the day to figure out where the fish are located, so we thought going 2 days in a row we would be ab...

I don't get to Sammamish to fish but once every few years, and every time the lake has made me work to figure them out, but that's half of what makes fishing fun!
