Frankfort Fishing Report: 7/13/2010

King salmon fishing is really heating up off of Frankfort. The past few days found nice catches of kings and lake trout. My best action has been in 120-170 fow fishing 90 down on riggers. Stinger magnum spoons (Dolphin, Mongoose patterns) have been good. Wire divers out 250-300′ using a white Pro-Troll flasher with a Rapture Hypnotist fly took several bites. 400 foot copper rig with a 4oz Dive-Bomb caught some bigger kings using a pearl plug.

GTASFA weekly league will be in Leland Wednesday from 6:30 to 9pm.
