After battling a chest cold for over a week, I had to get out and do something. With enough energy to hook up the boat, I launched at the public launch around 10:00. Went up to the trench and dropped a green ace hi-fly down. On the other rod I ran a wedding ring down 40 feet or so. It wasn't long before the hi fly rod was jumping. Reeled up a nice Mack, a 4 pounder. Back down went the bait. As I would see schools of Kokes, I would adjust the wedding ring depth accordingly. Narry a bite on the wedding ring. Hooked another Mack but lost it after a nice battle. Removed the wedding ring, and replaced it with another hi fly. Now have two hi flies trailing along the bottom. Hooked up with a nice fish, and got an eight pounder in the boat. Fished around in the lower trench area for a while more, and decided to call it a day around 1:00, and hooked up with another fish. Got a lil 3 pound Mack to the net. Several hits, and three fish in the boat, Good enough for me. All the fish were females, and had empty stomachs. I caught all the fish in the lower end, and marked several arches in that area. Trolled up to the rocky point, but no luck up that way. There were around 6-8 boats working the area, but don't know how they did. Water temp was 43*, so kokanee time is right around the corner.. It was a beautiful morning out on the water, Tight lines and sharp hooks everyone.
