Got a late start on Merwin with the girlfriend. Fishing was tough. Talked to 3 other boats with blank numbers. Hooked and landed 1 12 in Kokanee and at least 12 Pikeminnow. Sometimes hard to tell if the lure was bouncing or if we had a little minnow on. Ran 2 poles on down riggers at 15-60 ft. Marked fish as deep as 100. Long lined 2 other poles shallow. Only fish caught was 25ft deep like I had success a few weeks ago. Saw small fish surfacing and jumping. Fished from Speelyai Bay to the dam pretty much and threw the usual offerings. Successful lure was a pink wiggle hooch behind speckled pink dodger. Surface temp 53, less murky, less debris. Off day for bites but damn pretty so I gave it a 2.
