5/30/2009 10:49:00 AMI've pulled some real pretty kokanee from shannon a few years ago, probably in june or july. We'd pick periwinkles out of a creek and fish them deep along the boomdock. Or we'd tie 2 leaders off a sinking fly line with a corn kernel and/or a single egg ( we aren't purists) and fish them in a chum cloud. Nice to hear a report from that beautiful spot.

5/31/2009 11:10:00 AMI agree that the water temp there sounds a bit cold. Water temp at Lake McMurray this morning was 66.6 degrees F and the bite was slow. Last weekend it was 64 degrees and I limited all three times out. So I think the cold water at Shannon may play a part in the trout’s disinterest in feeding. I have caught many trout from Lake Everett which is the small lake before you get to Shannon. My success at Lake Everett has always been with a green rooster tail spinner, just in case you are in that area again. Thanks for your report.
