Let things thaw before heading out so got started about 10 am Fishing some areas between Keller and Coulee.
Continued the kokanee pursuit but couldn't locate any; in hindsite, I would probably increase my odds by fishing more toward the middle of the river but I just don't have the patience to cover all that water. Did have another productive day of trout fishing however.
-Kept 1 limit of plants and released several more limits worth. Avg. fish 18-19"
-Released a number of quality native fish which I always like to see... All of which were healthy 20" fish
-Largest trout of the day went 23"
-Only saw 6 fish carcases (all trout) at the docks despite there being about 12 boats out which is not encouraging for kokanee action
-Best colors: Chartreuse and had action on hot pink as well
-Depths: 10 to 30 feet
