Fished the mouth of the Okanogan for king and sockeye. Fished were stacked up on the fish finder and surfacing constantly. Trolled a medium sized flasher and pink hoochie with smile blade and shrimp at 15-25 feet deep. Landed a sockeye at 7 and a king at 8. Switched to a Brad's superbait and went 5 feet off the bottom. Lost a king around 10. That was it for day one. Day 2 nothing, no bites and much less on the fish finder. Assuming many went up the river over night.
