Had to post this. Had an incredible day yesterday when my buddy had his niece out from Regina as she had never caught salmon before and wanted the experience. So the 3 of us fished from the head to the trap and back to Church. Trolling fast with the current. No flashers, Just Jugheads with hootchy inserts. Trolling fast clocking 5 mph on the gps. Current was averaging 2 miles per hour. Stayed in 500 feet of water. 50 feet on the down rigger. Had at least a dozen Coho. retained our 3 hatchery and 3 wild. Water was like glass and this Regina girl will never forget the her first salmon fishing trip. Playing Coho on 9 weight flyrods.

The shakers were all springs and were about 9 or 10 inches long.

I was working next to you for a good while Coop. Saw you get her onto a nice scrappy fish and then as we parted ways we got our only double header of the day. Coho killers on 9 weights is what we were running! Great fun!
Today we fished off the head in 600+ ft and ended up with around 20 coho to the boat. Nothing over 9 pounds. But sure lots of fun shallow on the fly rods.

Pulling the boat Sunday so have been hitting it pretty hard.
Thursday eve solo fish done with my two 'ho's in a half hour.
Friday out with rockdog we got our 4 and targeted springs. Rocky got gang banged big time by a big spring.
Today with my kids got our fish early and spent some time enjoying the lake like conditions with shorts and flip flops.
See what tomorrow brings

Wow, it's nuts out there. Non-stop action of the head all morning yesterday. Green and white coho killer from 60-90 was hottest for us. Mostly wilds. My six year old had a riot and even got to try his favourite Len Thompson Rider spoon. No rigger, bounced in the prop wash with no flasher. The strikes on the surface were insane explosions! He is hooked now! Amazing humpback whale show to top it off!

Red Hot just in front this morning. Could have been done literally in less than 5 minutes - doubleheader right away - a clipped and unclipped both 7-8 lbs. Decided to have some fun and wait for better things to come and man did they ever come. Lots of doubles and lures taken right on the surface. Finished at 10 am exhaustedly with a 9 lbs clipped and 12# wild. Humpback, dolphins, sunny, no wind - man, it was paradise! Best was white hootchie and around 80'. Second best an an apex around 40'. Spoons did not get as much action. Also bites dropped off deeper.

I have the greatest respect for "Englishman"
He catches his fish when he is in the right spot at the right time.
He gives HONEST reports for his good and BAD days and is a true sportsman and gentleman at all times.
Unlike some on this site...not you Roy, but that was a low blow.
Keep fishin Englishman and keep your reports coming!
This site and fishing in general needs more like you!

Alright thats it! Sorry everyone
Ive actually feeling a tiny bit glad when I read the reports of shity fishing this summer. Been pregnant and feeling pukey and was so worried I was going to miss out on 'the best year ever' (that never was) I haven't felt like I've missed out. Maybe missed out on being skunked (unless you were on Profisher or Wolfs boat). This double header coho action sounds good! Going to get the tackle tied up and get out asap!

Today, my buddy and I went to Otter Point from 7 45 am till 1 pm. I forget to bring my two rod holders, too bad my buddy didn't do a check on our gear for me. We held the rods all the day. My buddy got 6 hits on his rod and lost 4. He kept a nice 8 - 9 lbs wild coho and released undersized coho. He used a blue Tom Mack spoon. I had a pin pop two times and one was hit really hard . I missed striking it, on one shake I missed it. I had to hold the rod and control the motor . It was not easy for me. I saw one nice size about 10 lbs coho jumped out of water about 4- 5 feet in the air and another about 7 - 8 lbs coho jumped out water about 3 feet.. It was an amazing day and beautiful flat water. I used a TKO spoon, an Irish cream spoon, and anchovy. The blue mack spoon is a hottest ticket! 37' , 54, 85, 64' on downrigger. Between Otter point to second tide line. And there's lots of bait in the water.
