Went out yesterday on a buddy's boat chasing some rainbows and silver's. I waited at the boat launch at Spring Canyon and watched 10-15 boats launch while my buddy missed the turn @ Wilbur in the fog. We finally got launched and headed up river a ways and we're fishing by 0830. We we ran 5 rods, 4 off of the planner boards and one straight back. The first 3 fish were mine off of the orange and black Sebile magic swimmer. First fish was a 15", but the next 2 were nice and thick 18 1/2"-19"+ The bite was on and off as we worked the same area and every time we were about to leave for new water we would pick up a fish. I had apparently used all my magic on the first 3 fish, because my 2 poles were dead for the rest of the day. The other 2 guys managed to pick up 5 more Rainbows, 3 of them 18+"s and thick plus 2 bonus Kokanee of the 13" variety. It wasn't a hot day of fishing but 5 big thick rainbows made it pretty good. Plus the mother in law is in town so it made the trip that much sweeter.

Glad to hear you picked some kok's. Maybe I'll be able get out this week and try it. Spent a week in the hospital and now I'm healing up after surgery. So these reports are making me feel better and more anxious to get out Thanks for the report.

The healing process always seems to go quicker when there is a shiny silver on the end of the line.

Thanks for the report CoyoteCrazy. Seems funny how a rod will be hot and then go dead.
widebear - glad to hear you are doing better; fishin' is great therapy!

I'm expecting to see those Kokanee reports soon Widebear. Like you said CoyoteCrazy, those big rainbows can make up for lack of a lot of fish with their size. They're equal to a couple smaller ones. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the day.
