I love it when things fall together!
A guide friend of mine put the word out she had an open boat for a 1/2 day on Lake Stevens for Friday morning to fish for Kokanee. I jumped on the chance to get out on the lake with my 4 year old daughter (Gringita) and good friend. Gringita and I hit Safeway the day before and she got to choose the snacks for the day. Donuts, muffins, hot chocolate and fish crackers (of course) and we were set. We were on the water and fishing about 8:30am and it wasn't long before Gringita was reeling in the 1st fish, then another, then another and so on, and so on. Even when dad impaled his thumb with a hook, she didn't care, she was reeling in fish while he pulled it out. Bite was fairly constant till about 10 when it slowed enough for Gringita to take a little nap and let dad get one (which turned out to be a 23" Triploid). She woke up and reeled a couple more in and about 12:30 decided she was ready to go home (it was her call - not ours). Finally tally was five nice Kokes, 2 little ones and the Trip kept. We lost a 2nd Trip and lost count of how many smaller Kokes and trout we C&R'd.
The day was nice, a little cloudy, comfortable but not blazing hot.
Big thanks to my friend - she is not a sponsor so I can't post her business info here, but if anyone is interested in a great guide that is awesome with kids PM me and I will pass on her info.
