No Coho, but I did get a 20" Cutthroat and a Perch... Tried tossing everything at them from 6 Am to 4 PM. Long day! It was good being on the water even if it was a bit rough at times. No rain, so that was a plus. Changed depth, speed, presentations,,, man,,, nothing was working! Trolling motor suddenly started running rough, dropped a cylinder, then quit. Nice... Would not re-start. Switched to running the main and tipping it up to keep the speed down. Did see a HUGE ball of Perch (I presumed) at 50' deep so stopped and tossed a drop shot down. Pulled in a nice Perch but decided to move on and keep trying for the Coho or bigger fish since that was the plan of the day. Should have stayed there and caught a mess of Perch! All good. I did loose one 'big' fish but it was in the same area as the Cutthroat I caught so that is more than likely what it was. Ran back through the area twice more but did not have any more bites after pulling in the one. Saw a number of other boats but only saw a few fish taken all day. tough when they are not biting!

Seems like the weather change last week really killed the bite.

I didn't know about the nets. I would be interested to know if they pull in any Atlantic's.

Would the nets really kill the fishing? Are they so far out that the salmon are forced into them (new this year so don’t know). I would be SHOCKED if they have Atlantics. I assumed they are all dead as they have no idea how to feed.
