Hit the water early yesterday morning and was quickly rewarded with some kokanee while trolling uplake from Jarvies Canyon. We caught 8 kokes and lost a couple others, mostly on a pink/green RMT dodger followed by a watermelon Radical Glow tube. Caught some 2-year olds, which I hate to keep or release, and had to keep a couple with torn-up mouths. Fish were stacked between 45-55 ft and boat speed was about 1.8-2.0 mph. We also trolled up a few lake trout pups and rainbows, which preferred a Serpent spoon in Mai Tai.

The kokenee bite died around 830AM, so we jigged for a while before heading in. We only managed one lake trout and one nice rainbow. Fish were hooked in 50-70 ft over about 90-100 ft using Berkley Gulp minnows on a 3/8 oz jighead.

Water temps are now around 70F. Hope it helps, Ryno
