Today the target was Kokanee! I brought my arsenal (very little at this time) for this species of fish. I trolled and trolled and trolled some more. I used a ½ to 1 oz. egg weight (big) and then this spinner thing and a wedding ring I made. The first fish I caught was a rainbow that was released. I conquered and captured 2 of the target species. I had a lot of hook-ups with out getting them all the way to the boat. Then I was getting bored and started taking pictures of my reel and pole when it was “fish on”. As it fought I thought “this is a bigger fish”. It was a 14.75 inch one pound rainbow. That was it for the day. I had bites but nothing in the boat. I took the temp in the shallower part of the lake and it was 62. I had bites trolling a black fly attached to my main line with a swivel. I came home with 3 fish after fishing 9:15am to 2:45pm.
