This is the set up that gets the big kokanee and rainbow on Lake Roosevelt. A Sidewinder planer, Kokabow blade and Kokabow hoochie spinner.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991.
