Fished the North end of the lake Saturday. Saw a big, beauty of a Black Bear in the road in Meredith to get things started around 5:45am. Had the lines wet by 6:15. Managed two Salmon, both around 17" but healthy, and one small 13" Rainbow. Lost a nice Rainbow 20' behind the boat. Not bad until the crowds came around 10:30, so we packed up and left. Orange/Copper and Silver/Copper were the hot patterns. Early Rainbow at 2 colors as they were rising everywhere. Salmon at 24' on rigger, and 5 1/2 colors on Lead.
Ctr. Harbor. Fished west side of bear out to six mile and around that whole area. Same today (Sunday)with the same results. Bite was late today. 10-11am saw five hits with three in the boat. Too crowded, so we left at 11:30. I suppose that's to be expected with the long weekend. Fish seem to be starting to set up. Lots of fish today 25-30,with just the scattered few below 30'.
