We got the lake around 4 and started looking for the Macks and Burbot on our sonar. We could only consistently find schools of Kokanee so we switched gears and targeted them instead. After removing the 6" swimbait that looked like a Kokanee, and replacing with with a dodger and Apex Kokanee Killer, we hooked up with a 14lb 34" Mackinaw. He put up a great fight but in the end he was welcomed aboard the boat, and invited to lunch the next day. Watch the video below to follow along in our adventure.

Schools of Kokanee were abundant, but the mackinaw and burbot were a little harder to find. We did manage 2 8 to 10" kokanee the next day but that was it.
