Lake Sutherland continues to be my favorite Kokanee lake. In the water by 0700 after a long drive from the Bremerton area and right away I began getting hits. Silver Mack's HotWings followed by a red wedding ring tipped with the traditional shoepeg corn soaked in ProCure Anise/Bloody tuna seemed to suit their breakfast needs just fine. Following the south shoreline with the rigger down to 40' woke up many groups of kokanee. Another fisherman, jigging, was also doing very well. The beautiful, tree covered mountains and clear, fish filled water make this a great place to go to in spite of the remote location.
