9:36 am- A spray of white water and a
chrome bright rainbow suspended in midair at
the end of Wes’s leadcore set up. With the water
temperature barely inching up to 50 in midmorning,
the trout were energetic and full of fight.
The bite was good in the
first hour after dawn, but the
action actually intensified as
the morning went on. While the
fishing was never wide open, it
was very steady with Cal and
Wes each landing 3 to 4 fish
per hour.
Wind chop was a key
component to the action. As
long as there was a little rip
on the surface, the rainbows
remained aggressive. When
the wind back off and the
surface went glassy, the trout
got a lot more conservative.
Flies and Trigger Jr’s were
the hot ticket for Cal on the
first morning trolled at 1.8
mph 8 to 15 feet deep. Wes
bumped his speed up to 2.3
and enjoyed hot action on a
pink Trigger Spoon.

10:16 am- Wes was on fire right out of the
gate on day one, hooking rainbow after rainbow
and landing almost all of them. Indeed, of all
the hard charging rainbows he hooked the first
morning, only one managed to shake the hook!
9:41 am- The Pink Trigger Spoons pays off
again! Wes caught several husky rainbows in the
3-pound class during the two days he spent plying
the waters of Lake Davis from his Hobie Outback.
Note: Trigger Spoons are arguably the hottest
spoon on the West Coast trout market today.
Effective at both lowland reservoirs and high
mountain lakes, Trigger spoons have excellent
action when trolled from 2 to 3 mph that screams
“EAT Me” to the trout!
