I used bigger hooks to avoid the small ones. There have been some big rainbow, An 8 lb Mack, and a tiger caught recently.

7/9/2017 11:53:51 AMThanks for the info Bent hook pontoon. Are the forest service campsites basically for tents or are they big enough for like a 24ft. camp trailer and are the Kokanee of decent size like 12-14 inch or do they run smaller?
