Thermocline?
Thinking about starting my salmon trolling season soon, as my boat is now available for valet.
Anyone done any trolling yet? If so, are they still on top or has a thermocline set up yet? Thanks! |

Like Dan said not thermocline to speak of right now. The water is very cold. I fished up there last weekend from Thursday until Sunday. We fished productive areas from past years with little to show for it. Out of the 4 days we only managed 4 fish total. 2 Salmon, 1 Rainbow, 1 Laker. We even tried live bait and that didn't help. That was it. I fish this same time every year and usually report 40 or 50 fish caught on the boat. Hopefully it was a fluke and not a pattern for the year.

The 4 year olds are nice though! Dan |
One of the salmon we got was just over 3.5 pounds! That was a nice one Dan!

Salmon fishing - past 2 weeks
Hi;
I have been fishing the lake for over 50 years. I have noticed that every year the number of salmon has been declining. About 5-6 years ago, me and a buddy, caught 28 salmon in Center harbor in about 4-5 hours. We could only use 1 rod each as the activity was so intense. We had 2-3 "double-headers". Since then, the action is horrible, maybe 1-2 fish per outing. Over the past 2 weeks, I have only caught 3 salmon. Something is not right !!! The live smelt and shiners that AJ's bait has been supplying has been great. I hope they figure out what's going on, because this is driving me nuts. I have noticed that the 3 salmon I have caught were all badly scarred(scales missing), and 1 had half of it's tail missing. I wonder if the many otters that I've seen recently are attacking and feeding on the salmon????? The other thing that I've noticed is the absence of surface activity (slurping) early in the am and later at twilight is, almost non existent, whereas, years ago, the salmon would be attacking the bugs frequently. I would appreciate any comments or confirmation of my thoughts. WINNI BOB |

Matter of fact, it’s next weekend...I truly believe the derby kills more salmon than gets put on the board. |
