Decided to hit loon this evening for some Kokanee, Smallmouth and Largemouth. Arrived at the public launch around 5:30 and headed over to the southwest end of the lake at the rocky point for some smallmouth, spent about 30 min there and only boated one dink. We decided to troll along that cove until we got into the shallows close to the old net pen. Nailed a couple using a pumpkin seed chatter bait, then switched to my old faithful 8" lizard and nailed this nice one that went close to 4lbs. Spent the rest of what daylight we had left in the lillies and caught mostly dinks, ran out of time for the Kok's. Saw quite a few old beds in the shallows with bluegill, crappie and small male Largemouths still guarding them. Water temp in the shallows was in the high 60's to low 70's in some spots and it appears the water level was a little lower since our last visit, it was a very nice evening of fishing.
