As the neighbors had a day off at the same time, (poor working stiffs) they asked me to join them on a fishin trip to Lk. Washington. So me, Fireman Bob, and Jose the Roofer headed out for a day. We launched at Kenmore and made the run to the South side of the I-90 bridge. Wind was light and settled down most of the day. Started trolling with 2 downriggers, and one lead core line. 4 colors on the lead core, and 20 to 35 feet on riggers. Trolled from bridge down to SW end of Misery Island and back. Tried a variety of set-ups including flat fish, Old Goats, Kekeda flies, Kokabow spinners, and some hand tied Wedding Ring worm harnesses, all behind a variety of flashers/dodgers. The most consistent rig was on the lead core with a Kokabow dodger and a green pirate flatfish, with the Wedding Rings coming in 2nd. Zip on the Old Goats, Kekeda flies, etc. Just not their day, I guess. We probably had over a dozen hookups with the fish in the pics landed. All were nice and healthy with mostly bugs in their gut.
Jose wanted a fish taco or ceviche feast for his family, so the landed ones were welcomed to the club! Normally it's a CPR session when we go out.
A really good day all in all. Nice weather, good company, and just enough fish that wanted to play.
We marked a few schools on the finder, but didn't really target them to see if they were kokanee, or? Maybe next time.

FYI, King Co health dept. recently revised consumption ratings on Lake Washington Cutthroat @ no consumption, due to forever chemicals present in samplings. These chemicals can cause a variety of potential health issues. Some of these chemicals were found in flame retardants as well as carpet materials, etc. Bon appetite.
