As far as catching is concerned, it was a 3. Of course we were hoping for some koks, but didn't find them today. We boated several limits of hatchery rainbows, all but one 18+ inches and cooked a few on the boat, kept some to eat fresh at home. If I had to rate the day on a "fun" level, it was a 5. My brother-in-law and I took some young adults (still kids to me) out for a day of fishing. My 18 year old played hooky from school to join us. My motto has always been "don't ever let school get in the way of your kids education." Well, she learned lots today:-). Old goat lures always work for us in the winter, and they didn't disappoint today. 90% of our fish were caught on the 2.13" orange and pink old goat. We also had some other homemade setups out there and some kokabow setups that had some success, but the day was dominated by old goat. One of these days I think we'll try some flies that everyone talks about on this lake...
If your interested in hearing more of this day, watch on our Youtube channel "boattothebelly." Its the fishing with kids episode. We're not in this to get anything out of it, we're just fishing for fun! With all the crap going on in our world today, if we can turn some kids onto fishing, we'll be happy!!!
