I had both rods in the water, trolling by 7:15am. I was on the north east side of the lake. In 70ish feet of water about 26 feet on the downrigger and I get my fish couple of kokanee by 8am. But it took 2 more hours to get 3, 4, and 5. 4 and 5 were next years fish caught at 30 feet down on the cable on the south side of the lake. I missed a couple but for me it was slow. About 7:30am the green drift boat comes in to still fish and he is done in an hour! But he almost always is. I think he is the kokanee whisperer.
I started off using a Dick Nite Copper Hot Orange Tractor Tread UV Dodger attached to a Orange and Gold with corn, egg, and a real maggot. The other side had a Dick Nite Pink Splatter with a Wannafish A Lure Pink Squiddy and garlic corn and a real maggot. Pink was not in style for me today. Everything was caught on the Orange Tractor dodger and Wannafish A Lures Orange and Gold. I did switch from pink to a Dick Nite Watermelon dodger and Gilded Lily which got hits but nothing in the boat.

Reels and lures use Izorline Platinum
