Dear Fisheads:
Took an early morning trip to the Locks this morning and was really
inspired. Hopefully, the families with small children didn't notice my
facial tics and rod-arm spasms that I worked hard at controlling....
Am I correct in assuming that since the upcoming 4th of July sockeye
"circus" is limited to Lake Washington, south of the 520 bridge, and the
sockeye are -- at that point -- in 50-75 ft. of water, that this really
isn't a fly thing? Would it be a waste of time(and/or illegal!) to work
a "Red-hackled Whatever" with a San Juan Worm dropper on a Teeny 500
over in the Shilshole vicinity?
It's been many years since I've seen a fish and actually imagined it on
my barbeque! If you haven't been over to the locks recently, or have
out-of-town friends/family visiting, you're missing a cool show. The
fish ladder is stacked.....
