A worthy 5 star day on American Lake this past Wednesday. No, I don’t think it was anything I was doing special, the bite was on!

Fished around the perimeter of Silcox island in about 50-60ft of water. Ran a chartreuse wedding ring with smilie blade 2.5ft below a 50/50 dodger tipped with a hefty night crawler. Had about 15 missed opportunities and a handful of pan sized trout in the boat. The highlight was a fantastic football of a Kokanee. My personal first.

Made a small video for kicks!



Cheers all,
Ken

Great report and video Ken. Kokanee are rare these days on American, at least for me. That is a very nice one indeed.

Nice boat ??

To bad they are hard to find on American. Sure was a blast on my trout drag setting. My first Kokanee, left a memory!

Thanks for sharing.
Strong work!
Just to think, American was an amazing Kokanee fishery just 8-10 years ago.
There has been a lack oversight and effective management and I now fish elsewhere.
Be safe out there:)
