Comments: Foggy morning. At times I could'nt see 50yrds infront of the boat. Sun finally broke through about 11am. Caught 9 Browns and 3 Rainbows. All fish were released unharmed and appeared healthy. Plenty of action, but no size to speak of. Saw lots of other action aboard other boats. Friends Bill and Jim caught 4 rainbows and one laker. Again no size to speak of. The Laker didn't make it, and the Eagle had a feast on the house! Something to witness is the eagle picking up a fish about 20 yards from your boat. Spectacular!!!
