Weekend Waywayanda Trip

[Capspath83]

Went out early Saturday to Waywayanda for my first time in search of Salmon and Rainbows. Tried trolling at 2mph about 15-20ft down with some spinner baits and spoons for a couple hours around both holes with no luck.

I then met some fellow fisherman anchored in 85ft of water who I assume noticed that I was not having any luck, he then offered me some of his live herring and a different hook and told me that his LTS advised that salmon were about 25ft down in the column that day. I thanked him for the bait and tackle, threw on some splits to get me down to the right depth, gave the other angler some space and BOOM, the bite was on. The drift was pretty quick but managed to boat 4 and release 2. What an awesome day! Those fish definitely put up a good fight!

Wondering if heartier Fathead Minnows will do the same trick for next time

Anyways, I'll definitely be going again. I already bought myself a portable aerator for the cooler
