After my failure at Martha Lake decided to try my "go to" lake. This time I had my worms, but it did not seem to matter. Had lots of strikes but nothing stuck. Got one perch to the boat but got off. Fished from 8-11am. Most hits were on the pop gear and had a couple more on wedding rings tipped with worms. Also got a couple strikes on a flatfish.

Got to the lake around 9:00am. It was a later start but my buddy got off work at 7:00am, and 45 min drive there. We tried bait for a while like last trip, and got some hits, but no hook ups. While he stayed with bait, I switched over to a silver and green spoon and began casting. After about 15 minutes when I planned to switch to something different a violent jerk bent my 9foot stealhead pole tip all the way to the water! I lost the fish at the boat, and it was only about 13in, but man did it fight. The next 3 casts got a hook up every time. I managed to boat 2. After that we switched up and began trolling. The fish hit on a wedding ring, flat fish, and the spoon. After a couple hours with many more stirkes, and violent first hits we had our limits. All fish were about 12-13 inch, but the way the hit sure made it seem larger. The first strike would be hard, followed by some air time, an easy real to the boat, and with loose drags some line peeling once they realized what was going on. Another awesome day at lake Ki.

After a month of salmon on the Stilly, I needed to sit and relax. Also, my 6 yo has been asking to go out, so I pulled some worms and we headed to Ki. Anchored up in about 22' of water in the North East corner of the lake, we had great bites, nothing huge, but loads of fun. We probably would have caught bigger ones if we were deeper, but it was more an exercise in fun. I may try to get her out again later this week, if the weather holds.

Got fairly calm when I returned from Goodwin so I decided to go sit on the dock for a bit tonight. Had a couple light taps, but no takers. Fish are still jumping all over this lake! These are the nice pan fryers too, not the fightless triploids, oh well, I have time...May have to launch the boat next week?.

This report is for various days from 10-11 through 10-18... I have been dabbling on this lake off and on 4-5 times over the past week, I have not been able to find a bite? I have tried the rainbow of colors Powerbait has to offer and various spinners and various times of day, nothing.

I believe I was fortunate enough to run into a school earlier in the month and that school has moved off. I would guess they have headed north towards the launch side of the lake in search for warmer water, but??

I haven't even seen fish rising in the evenings, and there seems to be alot of bugs on the water...oh well.
