The boating is likely over for the week. The forecast is for storms and wind through the weekend. We set lines near the harbor Thursday morning as sunrise neared.
The reason to fish close to shore was the change in water temperature after the northerly winds on Tuesday.
Surface temperature went from 73 degrees Monday to 42 degrees Wednesday. It had warmed again to a little over 50 degrees by Thursday.
That's 44.6 degrees 25' under the surface. It was about 65 degrees there last time I fished.
We continued on a west troll as the sun rose in search of a fish or two or...
but there weren't any to be found.
We did have a few bites, lost a nice fish and boated two little fish we threw back in the lake. The salmon scatter when there's a big change like that.
We're planning on company today and tomorrow before heading home Saturday afternoon or Sunday. The camping crowd wants to come here and invade the House of Flavors. They have good ice cream, but I'm not sure it's worth the 60 mile drive.
