A group of us got together to fish and Camp at Lake Billy Chinook with past weekend. After a very snowy week the weather turned nice and provided clear sunny days and cool crisp nights. I came late arriving at camp at 2:30. Reports of easy limits jigging for Kokanee were the story of the morning. With high hopes I head off to where the fish were caught earlier in the day. I surfaced jigged with no luck so put on a orange Apex and was rewarded right away. One more was caught with the Apex before finding a school near the bottom in 50 ft of water. I put on an Orange jig and pick-up my other three fish in short order. Those made for a fine dinner that night.
The next day was very slow in the morning for the people jigging. After an hour or so I switch to trolling and found an area of willing biter. I fished 5 feet of the bottom with a green bladed green bodied wedding ring. I picked up a couple of fish before going back to camp to pick-up a friend. We had three fish in the boat before either one of us could sit down. It did not take much longer to get our limits. He was using a green Apex and I used the green spinner.
Here are a few pictures. The first is looking back at the entrance to the boat ramp. The second is a picture of the silvery devils. Most were around 11 inches, but they are on the feed and should be putting on some size soon.
