Fishing continues to be very good. Both kings and adult cohos are being caught in the Saugatuck area. During the past week the fish slid back and forth between 65-160 feet of water. Strong winds changed the water temperature and the depths that we trolled the plugs and flashers and flies down in the water column throughout the week.
This week's best flasher-fly combinations were: 8" or 11" white glow ProTroll flashers with Hypnotist flies; 8" HotChip white/mtn. dew with a no-see-um Rapture fly; 8" or 11" chrome HC with a Wild Fern Rapture fly, 8" blue-glow PC with a Last Supper fly, and the 8" blue wiggle PC with a blue bubble fly. Plugs produced on the copper lines. The best plugs were the silver red head, green splatterback, green glow with a black ladderback and the green lightning.
More and more of the kings are darkening up and getting ready for the run to start. Once we get a shot of cold water the pier head fishing will be active. Until then these fish should stay near by. There is plenty of bait and cold water in the 100' area.
