Fished Lk Wa this morning and yesterday morning for about 1 1/2 hrs each day. I had to go to work, otherwise I would have been there a lot longer.
Yesterday was very nice. The news hadn't traveled far yet and it was only me and about half a dozen other boats. The jiggers ruled yesterday. Myself and the other trollers landed a few fish but the folks jigging were catching them hand over fist. Lots of snags though... I came home with a nice bright #9 hen. Caught on a sockeye setup at 65 feet, 20 feet behind the clip.
Today the fishing was much slower in the morning and there was also about 10x as many boats. Mostly trollers and I'd have to say that they were doing better than the folks jigging(avg. fish per person). I had big fat daddy break my line at the boat. I had some abrasions on my mainline, presumeably from the downrigger cable. Bit of bummer really... Re-tied, got back in the water, but everything went quite for everyone for quite some time. Switched from a sockeye setup to a red tiger wiggle wart. I hadn't been in the water more than 2 mins and BAM!, fish on. Landed #8 buck, packed up, went home, and went to work.
I'm really looking forward to the mahem this weekend. Not! Anyway, see you all out there. Good Luck!
