Nice perch at Bonds Lake this week. Golden Hill still good for perch. Olcott harbor has a mix of bluegill and occasional walleye. Please stay away from the salmon fry and little browns they released. They need a chance to grow up too. Whatever you are doing, have a great time doing it.

Thursday, May 14th – It’s been a crazy few weeks here on the west end. Fishing has been off the charts in a good way. The last couple of years have been up and down and all over the place so it has been more difficult to peg much down in fishing reports. Currently, it has been so good that everyone has caught their limits of fish quickly. It caused a lot of trips and charters to be over earlier than usual. The kings came out of their hiding places and are just biting everywhere. Lake trout are also heavy hitters.
The cohos and browns aren’t as plentiful as they seemed to be the ones on the move the last week. Haven’t heard much on steelhead anywhere. With several derbies and tournaments going on at once, it was like the bigger fish know where to hide on you guys. Joe Yaeger had a big smile when he won over 16k in the LOC with his 24 plus king salmon. There was a guy fishing for cohos the other day with a huge king in his 100 quart cooler. I don’t know how big it was, but it bent up both sides of the thing. He caught it on a Howie Peanut fly and 6” spin doctor while fishing for cohos. That was my fun spark of the week.

The Salmon Slam and 1K a Day are both on right now heading into the Wilson Harbor Invitational. There is some huge $$$ in there. You may want to fish for cohos to land that monster (insert smiles).
