Quadfather and I had a go on Omak thanks to our friend Marty who's a resident pro. Holy awesomeness, first of all... blue water. The alkaline water quality makes it uninhabitable for most fish, except for the Lahontan Cuttthroat trout. So that the shorelines are bleached white and water is crystal blue. I felt like i was in Hawaii.

The sun was shining as we cruised on Marty's boat trolling 50 yards from the shorelines where the depth ranged from 70+ feet to 20 depending on the severity of the drop off.

Quadfound most of the action that day on a kingfisher salmon spoon and huge salmon plug. I mostly hooked up with the bottom, for which they were gracious enough to drop fishing and turn the boat back to save my gear. Quad let me borrow his spoon sensing my jealous eye, and helped my land my best trout, actually my best fish so far. And it was crazy good fight on my cheap daiwa light spinning combo and 6lb mono, while the boat was trolling on. I wish i remember to ask for some video, but i grabbed a couple pics.

anyhow, the boat finished with 5 and I tied Quad for best fish, at 21 inches and about 3 lbs.

All had a great time and special shout out to Capt Marty for putting us on trophy trout.
