Merrill Creek Sat May 28th Report
Met Steve in Riverdale at 4 am.
1st stop non sponsor for Live Herring. Arrived at Merrill Creek at 5:45 am. Steve launched the 16 ft Monark & off we went. Steve took us across the reservoir & we set up on the 1st Drift. It did not take long for the 1st Strike guard to go off & I was rewarded with the 1st Brown of the day. We continued drifting & Steve had 3 bites and he could not hook up & boy did I bust his Balls ! I knew it was just a matter of time before he hooked up ! On the next drift Steve caught a Nice Rainbow. High Fives some pics & baits back in ! We continue drifting and 1 of Steve's strike guards gets wacked ! Steve knew he had a good fish & I bought in the other lines and got the net ready. The reel was screaming and Steve fought the Fish & I net the 1st Laker of the Day. The next drift the wind picked up & the bite shut down. We made a move & anchored up & started catching stockies. I put 1 line 3 ft off the bottom and my strike guard goes off & my reel started screaming.I landed the 2nd Laker of the day. Not a bad way to spend a Sat morning. At noon we called it a day ! 1 Hold over Brown,1 Hold over Rainbow,2 Lakers & a Bunch of Stockies ! The water was stained from all the Pollen but The Trout were hungry !

That's good to hear. I was there Sunday and the trout guys did poor from what I saw but me and my dad had some nice bass up to 3.5 lbs. Did see some swirls out deep but it only lasted 5 minutes.

Just like Fluke fishing once you find them keep working the same drift.
