We didn’t get to the lake until 10:45am . The fishing wasn’t has fast and furious as last Friday but we did have some excitement. The water temp was 60. We were trolling and I had bites but no takers for maybe the first hour but Adam got one on in about 20 minutes but his line was way out. He was reeling it in and the fish wasn’t fighting much. It slid to the top of the water so we could see that it was indeed there. All of a sudden a hawk swooped down to get that fish. It got its talons on the trout and Adams reel started to scream as it flies away with the fish. Adam started reeling to get it back and the fish slides back toward us dropping into the water. We kept an eye on those birds the rest of the day. They were 5 fish hawks total and 1 eagle we saw. It was fun to watch them dive for the fish, just as long as they were not after our fish.
I caught my first kokanee’s today. Adam caught the first fish but I caught the most today. He did hook a very nice large trout that I think was equal to the one yesterday from Lake Whitman but it got off right at the boat. I used most of the time the Salmon Roe Z-Ray and Adam used the Zak worm spinner. The sad part of today was that I failed to check my line after catching all these fish and I casted out that Z-Ray but my line stayed with me in the boat and the lure went to the bottom.
I used a bait hook, small split shot with a little bit of prawn and worm on it for the rest of the time we were there. It was about an hour. We hung out around the ramp casting and retrieving. We left around 3:00pm. There were only a few boats out while we were there. It was windy and cold for almost the whole time we were there.
