Embarked for Lincoln to launch so I could repair a bunk on my trailer as the pivoting brackets on one side were causing my boat to have contact with metal going down the road-not good... Anyway got it replaced and got out on the water downstream from Lincoln to Keller.

Was pursing walleye but changed my target species after 1.5 hours of zero bites. Switched to kokanee gear and caught a mixed bag of fish:
multiple young king salmons, around a half dozen smallmouth, a limit of trout and one 2 foot native. And last, I was lucky enough to nab a quality 20+ inch kokanee to round out the day.

-Most effective color today was a combination of bright orange and pink.
-Water temp. was around 42
-Elevation is still uncharacteristically high at 1283...
