Turned out to be a nice enough afternoon to get out on the Lake and chase some cutts for a bit. I wanted to work an area that I hadn’t targeted much before and see what it held this time of year. What I found was a ton of bait and I figured the area was good for at least a cutt or two. Unfortunately all the predatory fish in the area seemed to be suffering from a serious case of lockjaw and all I managed for the day was an undersized kokanee. The koke took a mini Tadpolly on the surface as I was trying to get the line into the downrigger clip. Eventually the wind picked up out of the SW, threatening to put whitecaps on the lake, which prompted me to pack it up and head back to the launch. Once again the fishing calendar proved to be accurate, rating today as being “poor.”
