I started fishing close to 9am. The air temperature was about 70 and it was partly cloudy. Less than 5 boats on the lake the time I was there. Water temp 67-68.

I trolled north to south in a zigzag pattern from west to east only varying it while water-skiers came out from 9-930am and then a jet ski in that same time period. I did not have any bites that I saw. I had both water wolves out and saw no kokanee. Well maybe one but could not be sure.

I put the riggers from 5 feet to 40 feet. I changed gear every half hour. I thought I would try a Bloody Mary hammered nickel blade with a Watermelon Dodger. When I hit the east end of the lake I changed tactics and species. Put on a piece of night crawler and trolled inside the buoys where I had a few bites and 3 trout to the boat with getting 2 in the boat.
I forgot to stow my net and after I got home realized I had lost it. Ego slider. It floats. If someone finds it please let me know. I left at noon.

I found looking at the bottom can be interesting. I saw where the UFO landed that took all the kokanee. ?

Wow there is a ton of lost stuff on the bottom of that lake.......sorry to hear no kokes. I stopped by American yesterday and talk to a fellow no kokes and the game warden was sitting there checking everyone. No fishing for me just a quick stop with my new dog to check things out. My truck is stuck in the shop!@!

Really glad you got a couple, seems like you need a different salad dressing....lol for a minute it looked like that fish was going to hit that lure.

Love coming home to watch the footage the water wolf gets. There was very little going on where I normally fish for kokanee.

The reason I dug out the Bloody Mary was you. I didn't have a brass blade one in my tackle box though

I have lost two setups on what I believe to be an anchor rope there, perhaps that is the culprit! 70 foot of water and getting hung up 20 foot down.

that wasn't in 70 feet of water. Between 20-30 feet either the north side or very western side of lake

this was about 80 yards from the northern shore in front of the big white house.
