Plans fell through for me this morning, and I decided to fish solo anyways... I was planning to head to Sammamish with my Dad, but he couldn't make it. Decided to hit nearby Lake Sawyer instead. I had the boat in the water around 7:15am, but got a little distracted by a decent sized Largemouth near the launch, in 2-3 fow. I promptly scared him away with a big creature jig... showed him!

Cutthroat was the target for the most part, but I directed 1 rod more towards the never ending Sawyer Kokanee search. There's probably not enough room on this page to list all the gear I tried and how... But I cycled through a lot of trolling methods, depths and tackle. Corn, Worms, powerbaits, shallow deep, fast and slow..... I fished till noon, and threw in the towel. 2 dink bass and 2 six inch perch kept the trip from being a skunk. Lots of fish marks on the sonar, but I think there are a lot of bass and perch suspended around the lake too.

I had barely made it home before the 20 minute monsoon rainstorm hit.
Amx was still out there bass fishing when I left.... I hope Amx did better than me, and didn't get too wet!
