Lake Don Pedro

King Salmon bite has slowed due to strong winds, cool temperatures and a full moon. Most of our fish were averaging 2 pounds, however we managed to land a 3.2 pound Salmon this week. The Kings are still holding in Fleming Bay from the river channel to Ramos Creek, 80 to 100 feet deep. We used frozen shad, Ex-Cell lures laced with Pro Cures new UV Oil on our main line, and Sock Eye Slammers on our dropper lines to help increase our catch. Kokanee bite is good with 12 to 14 inch fish. Fleming Bay and Middle Bay near the river we found nice schools of Koks. The Kokanee are hitting a number of lures, Marni Bugs, Uncle Larry's Bloody Tigers, Pink Fire Tigers, Sock Eye Slammers and Hoochies all behind Vance's nickel and green dodgers. Pro Cures UV Garlic plus and hot pink Anis with Shopeg corn produce good numbers. The lake is still rising 2 feet this month and the surface temperature is 67.8 degrees.

Despite the gusty winds early in the week King Salmon fishing was very good! The Kings are running 1 to 5 lbs. in good numbers. We found fish holding in Fleming Bay between Jenkins Hill point and Ramos Creek, 80 to 105 feet deep. The Chinooks are hitting a variety of lures, Sock Eye Slammers, Ex-Cels, Needle fish and frozen Shad. We used Pro Cure's new UV Flash Oil and found it definitely made a difference....... Read More

However, we did manage to find some nice 1 to 2.5 pound fish. The Kings are still 80 to 90 feet deep on the south end of Jenkins Hill near Ramos creek. Shad injected with Pro Cure, shad pattern Ex-Cell's, Thin Fins and Arctic Fox trolling flies all caught fish. Weather on the other hand...... Read More
