I got up early hoping to get to American lake before it got to hot. Once I found the south launch (I have never been there before) and started fishing it was 6:30am. I headed east trolling a flasher and spinner. I switched to ¼ ounce weight with flasher and wedding ring with corn. I caught a rainbow by Harry Todd docks. Then I got deep by the island so I put on a ounce weight with the flasher and wedding ring with corn. Nothing! It got to hot so I started to head toward the launch and was throwing a worm toward shore and hooked 4 or 5 rock bass (first I have ever caught). It wasn’t a bad day but I really was after kokanee. I will have to try another day.

No, Jens. Never even heard of it. I usually go to Clear Lake in Pierce County. I wanted to try somewhere new.

My money lake for Kokes is Alder. Toni you should try there. A bit of a drive for me, but trolling wedding rings tipped with maggots is the ticket especially near the dam.

I don't know aguynamedmike. I haven't caught one yet this year. The bigger the lake the more you have to kick. They hang out in deep water. At American there were water skiers as well as a float plane. I don't know how well a float tube does in waves...
