1/18/2023 5:06:35 AMCongrats on a fun outing and getting some limits. Pleased to hear you got the kids out to experience that fine fishery and the great snow capped views we have down there in the winter. Next time you troll, you might also try some of the old goat Spring green type colors and/or chatreuse. We have good action on these colors particularly on the overcast days. We should all be finding more koke action once the water starts to come down in Feb.

1/19/2023 8:55:40 PMThank you! Not sure what's more fun; fishing, or sharing the fishing stories. The only problem with videoing our outings is its harder to make those fish grow with our stories.

1/19/2023 5:22:23 PMThis was a great trip! Fun level and bbq cuisine level 5. Can’t wait to brink the young ones there soon! Thanks for the great trip as always. Old Goats are a have to have in the water lure for me. Just hoping the big kokanee show up next trip. If anyone knows some locations they’re biting at please message us. Although the trout are great, we all know it’s the kokanee we are all after this time of year. Blessings everyone!

1/19/2023 7:06:14 PMHey, just wanted your video, your not just great fishermen you great video makers as well. Cooking them up on the boat, that's as good as it gets. I have one of those little planner board things but I have never used it. After watching your video I think I will get it out and study on it a bit. I was using those orange flies you mentioned and didn't do nearly as well as you guys did. Think I needed some kids on board.

1/19/2023 8:52:13 PMThey definitely help. Probably 80%+ of the fish we catch are on those sidewinder planer boards. We do catch some on the whisky lines straight behind the boat as well, but not as many. There are some YouTube episodes on how to modify them so they clip on and off. We find they work a lot better with the modification.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!

1/20/2023 5:39:04 PMSo using the Sidewider your Old Goat were running just below the surface? I was wondering if you marked any fish on your depthfinder? I have been down twice this year and don't think I have marked a fish yet. I expect them to be shallow but would think I would see some from time to time. Starting to wonder about my settings. Getting the bottom just fine.

1/22/2023 1:45:03 PMYep, no weight added, just the weight of the dodger. We were not marking fish either yet this year. The lake is really high right now, wondering if that is making a difference in marking the fish. Don't worry about not marking fish though, this time of year they are really shallow, and boat shy. We put our lines back at least 150 feet, usually more.

Thanks for watching the video.
