John Knudsen met me at the launch. The water level was 1203.94.
We started a little after 7am and I said I was done at noon. Water temperature was 71. Air temperature was 53 and a foggy drizzle for most of morning. In the end it got windy.
John caught the most fish longlining with a 1oz weight. I was down most of the time 20 feet on downrigger but the kokanee I caught came at 10 feet. Our rods that were higher saw less action. We used corn and Berkley maggots for bait. Our speed was 1.1 to 1.6.
All kokanee had an adipose fin. Mine had an unnatural forked tail.
Less fish than before on the cameras. More fishing/catching going on so it is thinning out the schools. The water was murkier from the glacier melting.

Thanks for the video. I slowed it down to .25 percent of normal and it's absolutely fascinating to see how hard the fish work for the bait. It's a miracle we catch any at all! They all deserve to be released after working that hard! LOL.
