If you want to catch some fish
You can book a charter, you know
But if you want advice
Read the facts below
Chinooks (or Kings) like early mornings
When the light is dim
Sunshine keeps their mouths shut
Then the catch is slim
If you troll for Lake Trout
They like it slow and low
You’ll find them on the bottom
If you jig or troll
Steelhead prefer the surface
When the temps are right
Eating flies and lures
Throughout the day and night
Brown Trout can be lured in
from the boat out many feet
swimming shallow early summer
Later season, deep
When you target Coho Salmon
You may miss a lot
If you don’t have sharp hooks
And your drags have slop
Splake are a little timid
Their bodies broad and lean
They won’t be found near your boat
They have the brook-trout genes
