    Been fortunate to have made a few trips out on the pond and doing quite well. Plenty of small coho for the grill.

    As the Kings are showing up, a few are showing signs of what I hope this summer will produce. With stocking numbers down in previous years, it appears the size is going up. Been seeing early kings already in the mid/upper 20’s and this one below that tipped the scale a little over 30#.

    Lake trout numbers seem way up and been seeing plenty in the upper teens to low 20# class. 21 has been off to a good start

    Nice! Kings and lakers are fun but Coho on the grill is unbeatable.

    We’ve only had steelhead once, caught one on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan. Grilled the filets, drizzled with a sour cream/white wine/dill sauce. Delicious.
