The gate is supposed to open at 8 am in the winter even though it says 630 at the boat launch. This day the ranger apparently overslept and there were a lot of unhappy fisherman waiting to launch. The caretaker opened the gate for me because I asked nicely. Ugh. Finally got on the water close to nine. Fished until one. Caught 8 cutts, one koke and one smallie. The cutts came between 15 and 30 feet. The smallie was fun. We were marking fish on structure about 60 feet down. I dropped the rigger down and wham, a nice 2 pound smallie. It hit on a wedding ring tipped with crawler. We fished flies and wedding rings behind sling blades. Gotta try the smile blades, they're awesome. Good day of fishing. Tried out planer boards to get a wider pattern. We had 4 anglers in the boat. I think the planer board technique needs some refinement. Tried using jet divers or lead to control depth. It only had a couple hits and one hook up. Also hooked into a big one, maybe a 4 pound fish with a lot of color. It got off close to the boat but put on a show with multiple jumps. I think it was a sockeye or big koke but that may just be me trying not to think about missing a cutt that big. Had numerous other hits but finished with ten fish brought to the bought. Kept 5 cutts. Released the rest.
