Hey Gang,

Newbie to the board.... Been a hard core fly junkie for the past 25 years. However, since the rest of the family just can't seem to get the hang of it, went out and bought a boat last year- 16' Northwood. Completely "tricked out" with the lastest and greatest. I am certainly not a novice (mid to upper intermediate skills) when it comes to gear and the South Sound but, this is the first year I have been trolling spoons behind a flasher. My question is: How deep are you folks fishing these spoons and what is the deepest you have caught fish on spoons? I have been doing extremely well since the 16th (10 keepers and tons of shakers)in the 65' to 85' (with 70' the best depth) range. When a good size bait ball shows up on the "finder" in 135' of water, I drop down just over the top of the bait and can't, for the life of me, get a hit. I'll even work the bait for a couple more passes- nothing. Just seems when the "finder" is empty and quiet, the rod pops off the release. Maybe I am just having a hard time believing I am catching suspended fish this time of year. TIA
