A friend and I hit a small lake north of Snoqualmie for a few hours on Friday. The wind was shifting when we got there, and the water temp was 50 at the surface. There was a bit of a bite to the air, so a coat was necessary even in the sunshine. No hatches to see and no shucks on the surface. I stuck to the full sink line with a Boobie type minnow pattern to suspend above the bottom. I missed one hit and then a little later I had a solid hook up. The fish took multiple runs deep and long. He really put up a fine fight. Once in the net I could see a chunky 18"er. Got a quick picture and sent him back for another day. Overall, a somewhat slow day but rewarding in scenery, the friend I was fishing with and the fish I got to play.
