Fishing is still on the slow side with the rough water and fronts we have been having. You will probably mark fish but have a hard time getting them to bite still. Just keep trying in the following areas.
Salmon try in 60 to 90 feet of water areas, Using spoons off the dipseys and downriggers and two, three, five, and ten colored lead lines with the Offshore boards. Working 25 to 60 feet down. Halloween, orange with glow ladders, orange and black blue berry muffin, and lime green with glow colors have been working well. You might want to try some J-Plugs too.
Steelhead, try the color lines in the 60 to 120 foot of water areas. Start in 60 feet of water and work out. Orange, orange and black, and bright colored spoons on the two, three, five and ten color lead lines with the Offshore Boards will be the best to try. Also try spoons off the downriggers set from 25 foot to 60 foot down.
Lake Trout fishing is fair fish in 70 to 120 feet of water. Use dodgers with spin and glows, squid,or flys close to the bottom. Try lime green, orange and black, orange, and yellow colored spoons.
Brown Trout try in the 50 to 90 foot of water areas straight out North and South of the harbor.
Pike and Bass are still being taken inside the harbor and close to shore on spoons and body baits.
Perch, try inside the harbor and South of the harbor by the cemetery using minnows.
Walleye, try North, straight out and South of the harbor at first light in 60 to 90 feet of water on crawler harnesses or small spoons and body baits. Early mornings and late evening.
Keep those lines tight!
