Decided to give the kings a shot near the mouth of Issaquah creek. Had the gear down by 6:00am and the snaggers/jiggers already had a fish on when I made my first pass past the 100 yard marker bouy. There were fish rolling from time to time but I wasn't marking too many. Went with my standard bare hooks and large dodger for about an hour before switching out to a rattle kwikfish. The only kings I saw caught were by the folks fishing inside the bouy line with jigs. Called the enforecement line and I guess they didn't seem to care as no one showed up. Around 8:00 I switched back to a dodger and bare hook setup and got some action, it just wan't the right type. Picked up two lage kokanee or small sockeye within 10 minutes of one another, I took a pic of one, that is a 4/0 hook in its mouth! Well it was evident that the bite was not on so I headed North for some perch and entertainment. Stopped at the point near Inglewood and tied up to some old pilings in around 20' of water. Side note, this spot was the subject of the Lake Samammish Land owners harassing fishermen forum thread. Spent a couple of hours there and pulled in many perch and picked up a nice little smallie as well. On the way back to the launch trolled for cutts for about 20 minutes and picked up a good sized kokanee/sockeye using a flasher with a mini hoochie tipped with perch meat! What is it with these fish? For those of you who are interested in fishing this lake and may have a hard time telling a trout from a kokanee, it's all about the spots and teeth. Kokanee/sockeye have no spots on the tail, small teeth and no teeth on the tongue.
