Kokanee anglers were disappointed in the action, including me and my fishing partner Gary Feil, last Wednesday morning. We launched at Mill Bay and ran up lake and found a pretty good fleet working the water above the Monument. We pulled in, thinking that the fishing must be good here. We did see a couple caught, but got not a sniff. We ran further up lake and got into a good flurry of bites for a while. We got five good hits, but only landed two fish, that were 12 and 13 inches. I talked to other anglers and they were all having a tough time, with only a fish or two. Shane Magnuson swung by on his way down lake to report that he had taken a dozen fish first thing in the early morning and then it flat died. We were all fishing at about 115 feet in about 300 feet of water. Gary I were trolling our favorite spinners and blades from Kokabow Fishing Tackle. Others were trying hoochies and dodgers. I think the fishing will be much better by the weekend, with a string of warm days ahead. We happened to time our trip right after a pretty good dip in temperature from the day before. Get there early, and you’ll do fine. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
