Silvers? I caught a blackmouth on the north end last year but you caught silvers? I know they run but how big were they?

I caught kokanee 'silver' trout not coho 'silver' salmon which I think you are referring to

Nice job Firetiger! Thanks for the report. It never ceases to amaze me the a "plankton eater", like a kokanee, can be caught on large lures and baits just like any other predator in the lake. I guess they have the small, Italian man complex and feel the need to mix it up with anything that gets close to them. Hey, just a reminder, if you hook into kokanee in Lake Washington, you can keep them as long as they are over 12" and under 15".
