Lake Billy Chinook 4-26-05

I had been enlisted by Paul Robinson's wife to take him out on a guided trip for a birthday present. Paul's friend Dave Gacke joined him for the day and we chased the bulls up around the island.

After a minor mix-up on where we would meet, we finally got on the water around 7:00 a.m. The weather was calling for clouds and sun and no rain. We got into the bulls early and often and caught 10 by early afternoon. We ended the day with a total of 14 bulls to 8.5 lb. with at least 6 legal fish exceeding the 24 in minimum. The Lyman plugs were really working well. I was using both the 4 in. and 6 in. models in Blk/Slvr/White pattern that represent the kokanee so well. Both clients seemed to be happy campers as we headed in that evening. It was one of our better number days.

Another birthday boy is going with me on Fri. the 29th and I hope to have another day like this.

Tight lines, Rick
