I was really hoping that today was going to end up like yesterday but I had to work hard for my fish. There was a very thick fog that stuck around all morning long that probably had a factor in why the fish were not biting. Well Salmon at least. The first 5 min into my troll I land a nice 18 inch cutthroat. An Hour later I land another cutthroat that was by far the biggest I have ever caught measured at 22 inches as seen in the pic. Finally afternoon the fog clears the sun tries to peak and thats when the Salmon started biting. I had consistent bites but using 8 pound mainline and 12 pound leader on a kokanee rod made it very diffcult to land fish. Lost 3 landed one and then the bite was off. Lots of fish surfacing today so I know they are still in there. Bright colors and UV seems to be the trick out there. I rated this a 5 because of the hot action despite my failure to land em. I have one more day to try and catch a few more and then it is back to work for me. Hope you guys can get out there and enjoy this fishery while it last. Tight Lines!
