RJACQUES Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Headed out to Lake O out of Jordan tomorrow with a bunch of guys looking for salmon. Can someone help point me in the right direction given conditions right now?...... How Deep? Lure selection? I respect that people probably won't want to share all of their secrets, but was hoping to get some input on where to start, then we'll keep on hunting... Hope the rain holds off or it could be a long, wet day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smatone2k Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 two weeks ago we did pretty good with large dipsys no weight hooked up some sort of flasher our spin doctor and streamer flys was hookin up around 40 feet deep got a nice 22lber a rainbow and a nice laker hopin to get some pics up soon it changes quick this time a year you gotta find the termal line are whatever its called lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefMick Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thermocline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshowrot Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I would kill just to have a boat to go out in And mick is right the correct term is thermocline. Wall of text incoming "Thermoclines can also be observed in lakes. In colder climates, this leads to a phenomenon called stratification. During the summer, warm water, which is less dense, will sit on top of colder, denser, deeper water with a thermocline separating them. The warm layer is called the epilimnion and the cold layer is called the hypolimnion. Because the warm water is exposed to the sun during the day, a stable system exists and very little mixing of warm water and cold water occurs, particularly in calm weather. One result of this stability is that as the summer wears on, there is less and less oxygen below the thermocline as the water below the thermocline never circulates to the surface and organisms in the water deplete the available oxygen. As winter approaches, the temperature of the surface water will drop as nighttime cooling dominates heat transfer. A point is reached where the density of the cooling surface water becomes greater than the density of the deep water and overturning begins as the dense surface water moves down under the influence of gravity. This process is aided by wind or any other process (currents for example) that agitates the water. This effect also occurs in Arctic and Antarctic waters, bringing water to the surface which, although low in oxygen, is higher in nutrients than the original surface water. This enriching of surface nutrients may produce blooms of phytoplankton, making these areas productive. As the temperature continues to drop, the water on the surface may get cold enough to freeze and the lake/ocean begins to ice over. A new thermocline develops where the densest water (4 °C) sinks to the bottom, and the less dense water (water that is approaching the freezing point) rises to the top. Once this new stratification establishes itself, it lasts until the water warms enough for the 'spring turnover,' which occurs after the ice melts and the surface water temperature rises to 4 °C. During this transition, a thermal bar may develop. Waves can occur on the thermocline, causing the depth of the thermocline as measured at a single location to oscillate (usually as a form of seiche). Alternately, the waves may be induced by flow over a raised bottom, producing a thermocline wave which does not change with time, but varies in depth as one moves into or against the flow."

onthemoney Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Don't know if the Thermocline has stabilized water temps have been all over the place, check the latest intel, find the bait and the fish should not be far away, depth will vary from 80-200 ft to find them. we did well at 60-80 ft down any where 100- 170 but we never really found the big boys. Your choices are riggers, Dipseys, Lead core and planer boards, we caught them most on the Sliders off the main line and the Dipseys back any where from 100 - 250 ft these were # 0 and # 1 set on 1 and 3's . As for bait selection green glow spoons worked for use but also try the blue spoons, with Spin Doctor and fly off the Dipseys these did well for Coho and Bows. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
