Had a pretty good day on the water. I started out looking for the nearly absent kokanee but wound up with 3 rainbow, 1 cutthroat, and one 17" triploid. I started out with one hootchie pink and white with the other one chartruese. I only got one bump on these setups so decided to try a green wedding ring on one pole. That set managed to get 2 bows then died off.

I went back to the hootchies behind pink slingblade dodgers and ran with that. This combo must have woke them up because within 1 hour I had another bow, the cutthroat, and the triploid.

Funny thing while cleaning these. The triploid had someone else's hook and pink rubber pills stuck in it's throat. Must have ruined someone's day. One of the bows also had what looks like a rubber tube worm stuck in it's stomach. The cutt was eating good as I found 3 small kokanee fry in it.

For starting out for kokanee it turned into a pretty good day. On and off the water in 3 hours.
