Hello All! Yesterday's Like trip went great. we caught two limits (5 each) before noon. We were trolling hoochies behind tsunami dodgers at 1.2 mph at a depth between 20' and 30'. the surface water temp was 45 °F and we were marking a lot of Kokanee around 50'. Pink and orange were the best colors followed by green.

Thanks for the report Lewis, sounds encouraging.

Yes. 3 out of the 10 Kokanee were close to 13 inches. The largest kokes I have pulled out of Billy Chinook.
