Sat Sept 11: On the lake at 530 doubles going on the dipsy's at 615 0:8 by 6:30 and lost a tree house and dipsy three flies and green opti enticer. finally figured out what was wrong NO THUMBS ON THE REEL'S, we finished up 4:18. Off of the big river in 65fow. what a mess.

Sun Sept 9: As with many mornings this year it was WHITE HOT!!! out there with the first rain in months to cool it off. The hot set up tree house ran two off the dippers back 131 #3 setting with a ring. heading out at 4:45 we popped triples on the dipsy's, and white on white spin dr. reset came back threw and popped doubles again, and the morning just got better we finished up in front of the big river in 70fow, 2.0 to 2.2 on the GPS was important. Ended up 9:15,

Sat Sept 8: What a morning came out to 4ft + rollers out of the west, very fishable started in 65fow off of Selkirk and popped our first one on the tree house back 131 on the dipsy, then it went south well north west a front came threw slowed everything down and we continued to drop 7 more big guys on the stinger pox, double bubble & mtn dew smart fish, we also donated a yellow NBK to the cause. it was a east west troll from 94 to 50fow that we worked today,

afternoon trip: Started at 4pm in front of the silo in 65 fow heading for 85 off of high rocks, Tree house popped 2 back 275 on a #3. Next was the silver pro chip mirage fly back 22 down 65 over 90.

Fri Sept 7: On the Lake at 5:45 started off of Selkirk in 55 fow, our first fish on a chartreuse spin dr. with a hammer fly back 12 down 35, next fired was the Tree house off the dipsy back 121 on #3 it fired five times, white spin dr. white fly down 44. over all finished up 4:11 also all but two releases were heading north.

Note: I personally have not read of this but due to lack of precip they are going to drop the big river to 100 or less, So far as I can tell the lake fishing is going to be hot for a while and river trips will have to wait!

Source The Tree House with Clark and Vita: AKA Very Reliable!

Tue Sept 4: On the lake at 430pm off Selkirk in 60fow dipsy with the tree house back 135 10lb Coho in 5 min. 30min later 15lb Coho straightened out the hooks twice and broke off another set, as we were pulling lines chartreuse spin dr. with a hammer fly had a big k take hook ran out 250 straighten the hooks and went tootles.
