Decent morning on Angle Lake. I was the only boat. A few guys on the dock seem to be doing okay too. I trolled for three hours and got hooked up twice including this 13" hatchery steelhead which I kept, and another smaller one I released. Caught both on a pink Dick Nite behind a multicolored Dick Nite dodger and 3/8 oz weight and 55 feet behind the boat.

My home made sea anchor/trollers seem to be doing their job. I put some holes in the bottom of two cat litter buckets and rope them to the front cleats. They keep my troll speed between 1.0 and 1.5 mph and really helps navigate a straight line in windy conditions.

Tight lines!
