Great day! First, I got to meet “The Quadfather”, whom I contacted through this site, and he graciously invited me to join him for some Coho fishing out of Shilshole. So first, I had a great time getting to know him.

Secondly, we did get two Coho each. Overcast and pretty calm, so very pleasant. We started trolling right in front of Shilshole where we got the first Coho, but when we stopped getting bites, we moved north a ways where we caught the others. Fished between 30 and 70 feet on downriggers. We both used some garlic jelly and nice brined herring strips. Chris had a green and chrome flasher and speckled green squid. He tried an old Abe and Al chrome flasher with a speckled spoon for a while, but no luck. I had a UV flasher and coho fly. Since that set up got me the first coho of the day, I stuck with it but frequently refreshed the herring strip and garlic scent. Released two shakers. I was surprised when Chris got a coho on with a sea lion nearby. We went out at 6:30 and back around noon. So I’m giving this trip a 5. Good fishing and great company.

Ya, fun time on the water for sure, Terry.
Makes it even better is as soon as I got home the wind picked up. Now it is absolutely pouring.
Doesn't stop me from grilling Coho. Outside I go.
Good times meeting other wa.lakes anglers!

Quadfather is definately a good person, he took me out once too. I learned quite a bit about fishing deep(downriggers) that day, which lead to success later on in the year for me. A solid guy to fish with for sure. Thanks for the report ptfletcher, im glad to see the cohos are coming :)

Fished by myself today, got two around 11. Fished most of the morning deep, mid channel between the Wreck and Poss Pot. Went shallow just south of the Wreck and right away I got the two. 60 feet on the DR, 150 feet deep..

Good to hear they are starting to come in. Not many people use bucktails anymore nice to hear the old techniques still work. I've never used a strip with a fly before does it affect the action much?

Picture me trollin' - Not much. You might have to shorten the leader a little. This also depends on the size of your flasher.
