Here we go again,
I had the luxury of taking the morning off of work today in return of a late night which is just fine for me. I’m happy I did because it was an absolutely beautiful morning on the water.
I also had the honor to meet member Ben Ergesteen (I’m sure I spelled the last name wrong.) We chatted for a little and exchanged info on fishing kokes on Lake Wa. It was a pleasure meeting you out there sir! Hope you found some willing fish.
As for the fishing, it was a pretty solid morning. The kokes are definitely on the move. I say that because I didn’t mark a single fish in the Juanita Bay Area. Learning my lesson years ago on this lake, I pulled out of there instantly and found a new spot. I ended up settling for the Moss Bay Area and happy I did. I banged out 4 kokes within an hour. Lost a few more but the time was clicking down and I needed to start my troll back to the launch. I tried sneaking that last koke in but it just didn’t happen. Instead, I was blessed with a nice Cutthroat trout as I was pulling my line off the DR clip. I’m okay with finishing my limit with that.
I’ve had a lot of people message me about how to fish this lake. Honestly, this is my first year even targeting them in Lake Wa. I literally have just taken the basics that I’ve learned over the years and apply them to fish that show up on the FF. I’m still learning, and the only way to do so is to get out there and try. Tight lines all!!
