Decided to try out a different lake today so I drove on down to Mapely Valley to fish Wilderness Lake. I was on the water and line wet at 7:15am. My target species was kokanee but they seemed to be non existent until about 10am. I was about 10-15 feet down with my wiggle hoochie and kokanee special scented corn. I went 0/4 on the kokes losing all of them very close to the toon. They all came in a 1 hour window and the bite for them was gone. They are looking mighty plump I must say. I proceeded to catch some healthy looking rainbows one being 17 iches and FAT. I kept 2 more in the 15 inch range and called it a day.

I also wanted to mention that I was trolling in the middle of the lake and thought I got snagged so I turned my toon around and headed towards where I was "stuck." As I was pulling up and reeling in line just under my boat a HUGE fish black in color from the brief flash I got, could have been dark blue, started making a run. I couldnt even keep up and it ended up destroying the trail hook on my hoochie. I have no idea what species it was but all I know is there was no head shake when I hooked into it and it felt like dead weight. When it took off I thought my rod was going to snap. Whatever it was I am now on a hunt for it. Tight Lines to ya all!!!!

There are some big LMB in there. Whatever it was, sounds like it didn't even know it was hooked at first. Love that feeling when 'hung on bottom' sprouts fins and swims away. Thanks for the report!
