My 1st report!

This is my 1st time on this lake. Arrived there at 6:45AM, setup my Colorado XT pontoon, and was on the water around 7:20AM fishing for Kokanee. I left the lake at around 2PM with just one Perch, no Kokanee!

I trolled two poles(I bought the endorsement!), both had flashers, one with a small dodger. I trolled various depths, from 5ft all the way down to 50ft deep and many depths in between. Tried a pink hoochie with corn, Kokanee Killer with corn, Slow Death hook with a worm, and a Kokanee thing I don't know the name of with corn. Colors were pink, red & green. I tried dipping my presentations in either corn or garlic scents. I think I covered most of the lake, but focused on the areas other reports caught Kokanee in.

My Deeper Pro+ fish finder saw maybe 4 or 5 schools of what I think was Perch. It also showed single smaller fish every once in a while at different depths, not sure what they were, next time I'll take screenshots.

Weather was drizzly & cloudy, sometimes it got a little choppy. I thought that was good weather for good bite? I don't think I even got bites to speak of. No Kokanee, just one good sized perch at around 8:00AM, see hot spot.

I really wanted to catch some Kokanee, I have never fished for them before and was hoping this lake would make it happen. I don't know for sure if it was my fishing or the fish.

Hey Coffee! My opinion, after getting skunked there last week, is the good times may be over for summer koke action on American. Your spot is where I did well during Aug and Sept. Good luck next time!
