Targeting a species and catching one of them are two different things; especially when it comes to kokanee! Trolled from 0800 to noon and picked up this 14 1/2" cutt on an 80 foot longline out in front of the VA fishing dock. I wish I had a GoPro today, because I think we would have recorded the koke pushing the cutt at my hooks. They are NOT ready to surrender any of their own kind.

But, it was the nicest day on the water this year and no water skiers. Water temp is still only 44.5 degrees. The dodger it the pix is 6" and the lure is homemade with glow stack beads and an orange Spin-n-Glow . Used Carp Spit cured shoepeg and Herring Oil in the scent chamber.
