Had a great day fishing with White Cap Cal. Boated 14 salmon, 10 lakers, and 2 big white perch (which I shall devour this evening. This was our best day for large fish. Biggest was a 25" laker at 5#, 22" salmon at 4 1/4#, and 4 salmon at 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 #. The ave. laker was 21+". Most of the early fish came on flies on the lead core 6 to 8 colors. Ran flies on the lead all day and picked up a few more. The best lure was top gun orange w/black dots. Also got a few on mooselauke mini copper and orange, but just runts on that one. We got a couple on Gray Ghost (Gus's) special assassin fly. The best fly today was one AJ's tied for me.
It was neat to watch a bald eagle scoop up a fish. Hooked on Salmon got some footage on his cam corder.

Tight lines,

Nice catch Salty Dawg... thats a very good number of big fish.

Where are you guys seeing the eagle? I haven't happened to see one yet on Winni. Taking a few guys out tomorrow and would like to be able to show them.

Take care

At my "secret fishing spot" but this was our first sighting. (Black Point) But don't tell anyone.

Okay... ssshhhh... I won't tell anyone. It'll just be me, you and the thousand people reading this. LOL

I probably won't be near there... so we'll just have to hope the eagle does a fly-by in our location.

Thanks, Salty. Maybe we'll see/talk to you on the water tomorrow.

Salty's 25" Laker

Cal's scale must be wrong. It had to be 7#!

The photographer made you and the fish look good! Well the fish anyways.

WOW, That's Ugly, but the Fish looks great! Way to go Salty Dog!!

Hey'Salty how are you running those flys on lead? ARE you using small dogdgers in front of them or some other kind of spinner or are you just draging them by themself.I never had much luck with streamer flys,either single hook or tandem.I gess I just don't how to fish them,if you have time I would greatly appreciate your knowledge of the art of trolling flys and/or flyfishing techques. Thanks in advance Salmoneer

I've just been tying them on. No dodger. Same speed as hardware. 2 to 2.2 mph.
