First boat at Lincoln launch yesterday morning, followed shortly by a fellow WA laker. Widebear introduced himself and we talked for 30 minutes, [thanks for the information even though I couldn't implement it with much success] The water was calm and flat and besides the temperature, it was a gorgeous day. Ran down to just above Sterling Point where I had a ton of success about a month ago. 5 minutes in we nailed our fist fish, 17" rainbow on the Orange and Black Sebile magic swimmer. Then I couldn't find anything but a couple strong bites for the next 5 hours. After trying every fly, and plug I had on the boat, finally switched to a dodger and orange apex with a chunk of worm. We picked up 5 fish within and hour and then it died off again and we ran out of daylight.
Frustrating day for sure but it had flashes of great fishing.
