Thanks for your feedback Firedog. We got into the already long N. Bonneville ramp line at 4:35 a.m. and didn't get to launch my sled until after it was light out! 6 somthing a.m., and the line got really long behind me. They were still launching after 8:00 or so. Guys were only launching single file. If that ramp were widened only a small amount they could go 2 boats at a time. ...

With the dam counts only around 1/3 of what they had been the fishing slowed quite a bit by all reports. I fished with 'Fly & SAUKit and it was the first time up there this season for all of us, so it took a little time to dial into what was working. Turns out that backbouncing just good egg clusters out in 35' to 40' of water were doing the best; no Spin N Glos on them - and the Kwikies were taking some too. 'Fly got 3 adipose fish and SAUK got us 1 keeper. I had one good head shake take and missed it then I just had to put down my backbouncer and fish with a diver and plug - way too many bumper boats and constant waves to fight with the tiller handle to be comfy continuing to bounce. We did get a few other takedowns w/o hooking up. I won't be back - at least until the counts are back up into 5 digits next season. What a cluster****. Hard to beat those red meated upper Col. springers though.
