Having read reports and watched the video on American Lake . I made the trek to the lake to give it a try I came prepared dodgers, hoochies, wedding rings, spoons, various baits , down riggers the works. Maybe I was too prepared. skunked is the word. Not a touch. 10 other boats in the lake never seen a fish caught. So much for the 1200 trout planted last week. Locals say there are no Kokannee this year. Fact I do not know but I know I could not find them in 5 hours of fishing.
