A friend from New Hampshire was flying in for work and wanted to go fishing for the afternoon. So when his wheels hit the ground he grabbed a rental and a one day license and met me at American Lake. The weather was nice but turned ugly so we only got a couple of hours of fishing in, but he managed a personal best on trout with a nice 15-16 inch fish. It was his first time fishing out of a kayak as well! He was using a Black kokanee sized NTO Scent Spinner and orange beads with Pro Cure Bloody Tuna Garlic. I picked up two nice fish 15 inches and 10 inches. Both had nice red meat! I was using the white kokanee sized NTO Scent Spinner with corn. Fish were in the top 10 feet of water.

Thanks for the report, keep hoping someone will get into the kokanee there but good to hear that the trout are at least filling in the gap!

Yeah that is why I was only using corn. My friend had never caught much in the way of trout so I was glad he caught one. But I was hoping for a kokanee to show up. There were a few marks on the screen that looked the part but were not biting. Good luck out there. I will definitely post if I start hitting the kokanee!
