The morning was raining so I waited until it stopped around noon and headed for the lake. The reason the rain stopped is that the front was moving past, so the wind picked up! Ugg it was tough fishing with the wind. It was another R&D trip for the Scent Spinner 2.0. this time it was blinged up with Hyper Vis tape. White with UV Pink Spots, and the other was a Glow with the UV green fins. Both were trout sized and filled with Shoepeg corn.
Had one surface rod and one with the downrigger at 19 feet. The surface rod got most of the action with the trout being very willing and aggressive bitters! Speed was the issue though so I only managed a dink of kokanee. Lost a couple of other ones that were most likely kokanee. Midway through I got slammed by a 19 inch cutthroat. I am glad that the WDFW puts a few big fish in the lake, they sure are fun when you get one.
I could do without the wind but it was a fun trip.
Here is the video of the trip:
