How Coho

Coho are in the 70 to 150 feet of water 25 down with silver/green or silver/blue spoons. Stick in a flashers and Howie fly in green color it attracts fish to your spread.

How Chinook

Chinook are coming on Reaper Magnum Big Joe Silver spoons run long behind the downrigger ball or on SWR rigs 40 feet to the bottom. Vulcan Magnum spoons in blue/green or silver/ green on the long lead cores are also taking Chinooks. The only place you will find Reaper and Vulcan spoons is on their web site at http://www.badgertackle.com

How Lake Trout

Beat the bottom with long lead spoons and SWR rigs. Best action has been 85 feet and out to 150 feet

Rainbows are reliable.

Run 2,3,4,5,6 color lead cores with orange, red or green spoons. Best action in 100 to 200 feet of water.

Where!

Water temperatures near shore are cold enough but the bite has been hit or miss. Coho fishing was good in 70 to 150 feet of water. Start your trip in 70 for Coho and go to 125-160 feet of water for Chins and Lake Trout. Fish the entire water column for the best action. Anglers are finding Chinook action 10 miles north of Milwaukee in Whitefish Bay. Our best speed was 2.0 to 2.2 mph measured at the ball with the Depth Raider.
