The water level of the lake is still up. 1,206.24 feet of elevation (maximum of 1,207 ft). The water temperature at 66 degrees is down from last week.
It was mostly cloudy with sunbreaks and about 11am the wind picked up.

I was stacking my second rod onto the line and before I could clip it, I had one on. Unfortunately, the line was wrapped around the tip and in trying to get it fixed I lost the fish. I decided then that I would just longline that one rod. In a short time, I had another on and into the boat. Largest fish of the day and my last. I try to keep the troll speed at 1-1.4mph.

We had lots of bites but only got 3 in the boat. One time we had 5 fish on in ten minutes. I had one on the surface rod while my son was fighting one which came off. Then my downrigger rod had one on so I handed my surface rod to my son I grabbed the downrigger rod and we lost them all. It was a busy 10 minutes.

Corn no scent and Berkley maggots in brown were what I used. My son used worm’s part of the time. We fished Surface to 15 feet down. We fished 8:30am to 12:00pm.

I may have caught the biggest but my son caught the most.

Both the kokanees had clipped adipose fins.

I use a water wolf. It is hooked to the end of my line about 10 inches in front of the dodger
