K Can - 1 ticket Mon 6th PM

[LEfriend]

Finally got out after wild June. Upon hearing more than one report of close in we decided to try that instead of long run north of W Sister. Set up at K can about 3 in afternoon and trolled towards Crane Creek. Picked two up fairly quickly and then picked at them rest of afternoon on that line. Ended evening with 6 keepers for 2 guys. Started with meat on one side, spoons on other. Everything came on meat. Might have gotten more had we switched to all meat sooner. One ounce in-lines, anywhere from 20 to 40 back. No pattern. Speed 1.6-1.8. 14' to 15' of water for most of them. Nothing big, just nice eaters plus a couple FO sheephead! I expected bite would pick up as we got into evening hours, but worked the other way. Shut down about 6 PM.

Beautiful late afternoon/evening to be out, nice breeze and one foot chop. Had lake mostly to ourselves. And no midges like many have reported...just a few black-flies that swatter took care of! All in all, great way to spend my birthday!

Water clarity wasn't too bad where we were, some said better inside than was further out. Saw a few sticks I wouldn't want to hit. Downer is it was obvious around Crane that algae is coming on...
