Well the boy's wanted to hit up Summit lake today for some good times fishing. We arrived around 11 am and got set up with four rods on the DR and one long line. We fished for 15 min with no bites and were marking fish. I decided to start fishing with corn and some dipping sauce and that did the trick. Took 5 min and it was fish on. We repeated this for about an hour and no kokes at all. Nice RB but really wanted some kokes.

Headed to the other side of the lake where we had some luck in the past and whammo first koke in the boat. Small but fat, reset the gear and my son rod goes off and another nice 13" in the box. Headed up lake a bit and found more schools willing to play. My son was knocking them dead on the Wanna fish a lure Patriot and I was using the orange squidder from Mack's lures. He was also using a green wedding ring not sure who's but the RB trout killed that thing today. My other son long line got one fish today and he was happy. Now every time I gave him my rod with a fish on or his brother handed him the rod he would loose the fish, long release or right at the boat. Watched some nice size kokes swim away.....sob. But he is 27 and not really into fishing to much but he wanted to fish so kept giving him the rods and he got the hang of it and landed the best Koke of the day!! We all came home with limits leaving the lake at 2:30.

Now these fish have got major and I mean MAJOR lice....does anyone know why or what is going on? Some RB were bad and the kokes had them think in the gills and the fin area. Kinda ugly for sure. I am sure there safe to eat but these fish are going to die as there gills are mush...

Tight lines,
Eric
