Fished solo this morning.  Ran to 70' north east of portage and fished past the state line to 90.  Best depth was 80', 2.5-2.8 s.o.g.  Started at 6:45 a.m. and had 3 nice fat coho in the boat by 7:30 and everything shut- down.   Riggers, dipseys, sliders were silent and spent the next 2 hours washing lures.  All hits came on 150 copper with oo orange dodger and blue/silver 3" home made fly.  This fly looks like sh...t., but they still catch plenty of coho- just keep adding more tinsel.  Very few bait marks and fish for that matter.  Beautiful day to be out- nearly flat lake.  The flies were annoying but not biting.  Tried for perch on the way back - decided to start at M.C. was half way there anyways.  Started about a mile west of baileys and worked west.  At least 10 boats in the general area and marked perch in the 30' and 20-22' range, but couldn't get them to go... ended with 1 perch in 2 hours.  It should'nt be much longer on the perch- hopefully get out next week and give it another shot.  Fish-on Nick.
