5/14/2012 8:46:00 PMIf I were you guys i would go to Kokanee kid fishing.com and order some of his arrow flash dodgers and some R&K hoochies in the silver body with whatever color you like I and also a few super micro hoochies in whatever color you have confidence in but I switched to this gear about 4 months ago and I have always caught fish but with these products it was like I couldn't keep them off my hooks and not nibbles but slammer bites amazing Kokanee gear if you have any questions Jeremy the owner is always available to help you out with any questions you might have if you try these products your success will explode and let him know Kingchinook sent ya hope you take the advice cause guaranteed it will pay ten fold

5/14/2012 9:00:00 PMSaw you guys out there today, It was a tough morning. ScreamingEagle and I got lots of trout and 3 really nice Kokes. We were in the flat green smokercraft that was fishing around the same area as you guys (along with the other 50 boats)!!!

5/15/2012 7:23:00 AMYep, my 1st outing targeting Kokanee - but none for me today. I C&R-ed two trout at least! It was a great day, hopefully I can get back out there and get one or two next time.

5/15/2012 7:52:00 AMYou are starting on a good year because you wont get spoiled. Thats what has happened to everyone that fished American last year. The fishing was too easy and now we have to work for it. Maybe next year will be another amazing year. Bad day of fishing still better than a good day of work. What time did you guys pull out of the water? We headed out at about 9 because the wind started to pick up a little, and the bite slowed down.

5/17/2012 6:38:00 AMBTW, thanks to Gringo and rseas who each donated a fish to my smoker, they turned out AMAZING. I can't believe how much rseas recommendation of letting the fillets air dry made a difference. Outside was a beautiful bronze color and dry/clear sheen, inside was incredibly moist and Delicious!
