Went out for the first kokanee hunt of the year. Opted for a buddies boat since he has a top and heater which was great since there was a cold wind all day. We were the first boat on the water and there was alot of thin ice flows all over the water until about 11. Morning started slow and didn't touch a fish until a 22" 3.6# rainbow absolutely crushed my rod. I passed the rod and boat the first rainbow I have seen in 5 trips to the lake. Finally got into the kokanee around 1230. Already good sized and feisty. The dark pink kokanee fly was the big winner today boating all but 3 of the 15 hooked. Kept only 5 of the bigger ones. Cold and windy and the fish were further towards the public launch than last year.
