Received a report and photos from Mike Carey of Northwest Fishing who fished Holter Lake in Montana last week for the Kokanee. He was fishing the 2.44" OG1s. The most successful color was a Yellow-Glow with pink-tail. (This is an experimental color I'd sent Mike. After these results, we're going to put it into our lineup!) He also had success with the UV-orange. The fish he took were some of the biggest kokanee to date that anyone's reported taking with the OG1! Absolutely appreciate both the report and the photos!

Chad at Trophy Trolling just put up a video where he was fishing the 3.3" UV-Orange OG2 in Lake Michigan. (Scroll to 10 minutes to see him playing the fish.)
Just received a report and photos from a customer in Yakutat who indicated the 3.3" OG2 in blue/black-scales was effective in the local water up there: We had a customer contact us earlier and explain that they'd had success in Lake Wenatchee for the sockeye, last summer, with our 2.13" UV-Orange lures. But, because these fish are bigger, they'd removed our 12-pound kokanee leaders and replaced them with 15-pound leaders and size 2/0 hooks. On the off chance that others are interested in rigging their own OG1s, we've put a batch of 2.13" in the UV-Orange on our online store. We're selling them as 2-packs. (Get yours before they're gone!)  In July of 2020, the 3.9" Purple/Black-scale OG2 took a 30lb King out of Sekiu, Washington. That color combination proved to be effective; and, we've sold a lot of 'em. As a result, we decided to offer that same color in the next size down (3.3") as there are times when a slightly smaller lure seems to trigger the strike. (If you troll the 3.3" and 3.9" side-by-side, you'll notice that the smaller lure vibrates at a faster frequency.) You can get yours now through the online store. Photos below, the 2nd photo shows the size difference between the 3.9" and 3.3" lures. Dana C. was fishing the white/black-scale OG2 out of Sekiu, Washington last week and landed this nice hatchery king:  Captain Eric and his wife Jan on the G'Day charters out of Valdez, AK sent the following photos of a nice King salmon taken by one of their clients. This fish took the Fluoro-Green/Pink/White OG2 in the 3.9" size. Absolutely appreciate the report and photos! Washington's Puget Sound offers a resident coho fishery that begins in June. These are fish that remain in the Sound their entire life and never venture out into the ocean. One of our customers indicated they'd taken resident coho in Washington's MA10 on the fluoro-green/pink/white OG2. Decided to send a couple in the 2.8" size to Captain Drogseth who skippers the Ruby D out of Edmonds. He just emailed me a photo of a client who caught a couple of nice fish today on this lure. Looks like those fish are starting to put on some weight!
We're getting several hundred OG2s ready for rigging. (Just finished clear coating the lure bodies in our paint room.)
Captain Drogseth, on the Ruby D, continues to use the OG2 in UV-Green to put his clients on the fish! Below are two pictures he provided. One from his outing on Saturday, June 15; and, the other from Sunday June 16. If you want to target the resident coho in Puget Sound, contact Captain Drogseth and charter the Ruby D for a morning! |
