Looks like decent weather. With my boat getting service I will be going Saturday. Should be a good time!
Most likely gate 8. Trolling large dace on leadcore...things should get interesting! Although it may be calm enough to break put the vex and jig them...
Last year guys were crushing the salmon running planer boards up at gate 8 the first week.
Any idea what bait they were using?
Trolling flies. I do really well with small shiners flatlined 2.0-2.4 mph.
Mix of flies and light smaller spoons I had my best luck running leadcore with some small smelt jerkbaits I would mark a fish and just wait for that lure to pass where I marked them could almost count it down to when they would hit
How are you rigging the shiners to toll at that speed? Seems like anything over 1.5 is to much for them to handle. They start pin wheeling and spinning lol
