Forgot about the time change for the gate! Guard showed up at 0630, so I only had to wait one hour. Started trolling at 0700 and didn't even get a bite until this 15", 1lb 4oz koke took the pink hoochie right out in front of the VA at 38' in 70' of water. It was 0930 and the only other thing I caught all morning were a couple of perch - not even a bow!

I tried every trick in my bag and no more results. There was a nice high pressure cell, a clear day, and warm breezes. What more could a kokanee want? Just when you think you have them figured out, they change the rules. Kind of sounds like a wife? Well, like they say, "The worst day fishing is better than the best day at work!" But one fat koke really isn't a bad day.
