Took advantage of a sunny, relatively windless mid-60s November afternoon by launching my canoe at Rattlesnake Lake. My principal objective was for my wife & I to enjoy a few rain-free hours on the lake, but after the first circuit of the lake I dragged a #14 bead-head black wooly bugger as we paddled. Within the space of half an hour I'd hooked, landed, & released two 12" kokanee, both from halfway down the lake close to the northwest shore. Both fish hit the WB hard near the surface; the first was hooked only 4 feet from the boat. The fishing action accompanied a midge hatch, with frequent leaping kokanee & opportunistic osprey. When the midges disappeared, so did the fish & the osprey ...
Somehow my Cabelas inflatable PFD didn't make it from the beach back into the car at the end of the day. Please let me know if you found it -- there's a reward for its return (see photo).
