Long time troller of the site, first time poster. We've been taking the Livingston out on Lake Sammamish a few times over the last couple months. The action was better a couple of months ago, but still has been strong enough to keep me coming back. It's only a short drive so makes it easy for the times there's a couple hours to get out.

Anyways, last Saturday by daughter and I got on the water by 11. The weather was perfect for late fall, sunny and warm. Trolling with the downriggers at 39' and 45'. I read that lots of people drag the gear way back (100') from the DR ball, but I've found that 30' makes no difference on the number of hook ups. Wedding rings in chartreuse with little smile blades, tipped with worm, behind a little flasher, see the pics. Hooked up 5 in 3 hours on the central south end of the lake - straight south of the weather station, 60' deep, only a hundred yards out from the houses.

Easy fishing along the lake shore, in the sunshine, talking with the kiddo. Couldn't ask for anything better.
