Good weekend of fishing on Riffe with the boys, Chuck, Noel and The Chad. We split time between trolling and stationary fishing from the boat.
Trolling:
We launched everyday from the Mossyrock Park boat lauch and primarily trolled the area from outside the lauch to maybe 3 miles past...back and forth...using a 5" dodger with a pink hoochie both hooks tipped with worm, and 3/4 oz cannonball on a sliding swivel. Caught landlocked cohos here and there...enough to keep the interest...biggest ones were in the 13 - 16" range (posted a couple of pics). The biggest one was caught with a Brad's Wiggler, medium size (dives to 10-15' I think), colored like a rainbow trout...going towards the concrete look out tower near the Swofford Pond overflow. The Chad did have a nice landlocked Coho on just feet away from the boat until it shook off...looked like another 16-18"er...he was using a Mepps spinner (red and gold) pretty much at the surface.
Stationary:
We hit up the "islands" near the Swofford Pond overflow...drifting with the wind all over the place. Managed to hit a few Smallies using Rapalas.
Good times....great campsite...we'll be back.
