Koke addicted

[Blacklab]

Just started fishing for these last spring. Only went a few times and never hooked up. Dana and I went this last Friday trolling Merwin. At one point I thought I'd check my bait. As I'm retrieving it Dana starts saying your tangled in my line. That's not me you have a fish. Well for at least a minute anyway  After a couple hrs we went to a different area and BOOM! Caught my first kokanee of many I hope. Dana missed 3 or 4 but it brought out her competitiveness. It was great  .

G-man, If, notice I said "IF" you catch any, save 'em for 'but bait. Uh second thought maybe not, you better just eat 'em. Good luck!

If any of you are looking for a summer Koke trip Lake Koocanusa north of Libby Mt has some pretty good Koke fishing.  A couple of years ago when we did it, they were smaller than Chelan's but there is miles and miles of lake and very few boats

Yes I got a new boat last year I got addicted  at spring canyon.  Very fun fishery. Rick

I'm at American Lake right now, been here since daylight. Not a single bite. Seems nice schools on the Sounder but nothing's taking anything.
