Heard rumors of there being kokanee in RP, so Jmorfish and I got up there today around 6am and fished till noon or so. We trolled around the dam area and were marking a lot of suspended fish that we thought could be kokes and at the least were trout but after trolling through them a few times and no hits we moved on. We were switching lures and dodgers and Joe got one hit but no hookup, as we trolled toward the inlet end of the lake. Finally Joe hooked up and we got a decent sized bow in the boat. As we got toward the back of the lake and it started getting shallow, we decided to troll toward the opposite shore line, when we got there, just out from the campgrounds we started marking a lot fish on the bottom, perch I reasoned. We decide to try and vertical jigged them and after a lot of bites, Joe finally got one in and it was a monster, at least 2.5" long, we finally decided to yell Uncle and we gave it up for the day. Water temp was 71 degrees. Thanks for getting out there with me today Joe, really enjoyed the wide range of topics we talked about.
