My first trip to Lake Sammamish. Got to the lake just before noon, very windy and difficult to launch. Do all state parks charge $7.00 to launch?
Headed uplake started fishing at the second point on the east side of lake, not quite middle of lake. Used a 0000 sling blade, 4" of leader and a brass and red wedding ring. Suface temp was 48 degrees. Trolled various speeds 1-2 mph. Had five bites, lost one and C&R two.
I was using a downrigger and caught fish at 20 feet,35 feet and 40 feet.
I was trying to fish for cutthroat and got rainbow..oh well, they were good fighters.
Thought they might be good to eat, but then thought at least three years old in lake surround by home runoff.
