Great day on Sammamish. Buddy asked to go fishing with me, so I said we are getting up early and getting out there.
Started the day trolling. Lines in at 5:30 or so. First fish in the boat at 5:32. It was fast!! Went 4/7 on the trout in the Morning. Went in to switch gear and grab spinning rods to catch some panfish.

Hit he panfish right away middle of the lake on the west shore. Killed them. My friend also got a real nice smallie. We got a crazy amount of crappie. as you can tell from my other posts, I fish Sammamish all the time and I hardly ever catch crappie. Got 6 keepers and threw a few back. Delicious. We hopped spot to spot for a while, enjoying the scenery.

I had a spot in mind for panfish, mouth of a creek on the east shoreline. Just smashed them. Ended the day trolling for 20 mins and picked up one more trout. Great day!!!

Trout were 30 feet on the wire in the morning. 40 for the last one.

Used wedding rings for all species. Cast and retrieve with them is great for panfish. I have also been getting Pikeminnow, peamouth chub, and perch while trout fishing. Gotta check those lines!

Off the water at 12. Fantastic fantastic day.

Tight lines!
