We arrived at the lake at 2:00 pm and shot right over to Noisy Creek where we joined maybe 10 other boats. It was windy but I was thankful for it because the sun was out in full force and the wind kept us comfortable. I used a lot of sun screen which also meant I was washing my hands often to keep that scent off of my gear. My buddy Dan trolled the Noisy Creek hole all afternoon knowing that any real bite would likely come in the early evening so we just enjoyed the beautiful scenery, took lots of pictures, and waited for the bite. At 7:00 pm Dan’s rod went off and minutes later with little effort on the behalf of the 6 pound sockeye, he was in the net. I was expecting a big fight based on the reports I had read and instead, he came right to the boat and in to the net. That was it until 9:00 pm when we returned to Shannon Creek’s launch, which by the way was great. It dropped off perfectly so there were no “dry launch” issues. I hate it when the boat is above water at a shallow launch and you have to muscle it off the trailer. We fished deep, shallow, and everywhere in between and basically tried to keep our presentation wherever we were marking fish which were few. We both ran the standard O chrome dodgers and double red hooks. The one fish we harvested took the hooks when they were tipped with shrimp. The bite was a 1 or 2 but the trip itself and the scenery there was a 5.
