Beautiful overcast morning. ‘Bout time we cooled back down. Windy early today. Fishing has been fair to fairly good since the weather heated up. Fish are moving around and down a little. Surface water temp up from 54/55 last weekend to 63-65F this weekend so we need the cooling off for a few days. Red/gold Thomas Buoyant still producing. Watermelon needlefish, watermelon sure catch, brook trout #5 sinking rapala, orange (#1 red magic fishscale), all around best and olive trolling flies. Kinda a one hit wonder week for lures, but just keep throwing the box at em. Yesterday mid morning we found them 7-15ft deep. 20-30ft of water till bout 9 then 40-50ft of water, same depths. Still pretty scattered. Fish off the Youth Camp appear to be moving towards miners & slough pt & thinking about heading south...holding close to the channel. Tui chub minnows are showing up early. Shore fishing hasn’t been real good with the heat spike & movement but we still have a few fish coming in close and shallow briefly before moving out for the day. Cooler temps this week will help stall the move & keep them relatively high in the water column.
