After my moderate success last Friday, I thought I would be able to easily catch a few Kokanee and maybe a brown or two on a short early morning run to the Nelle. How wrong I was. I have 2 kids not too happy with the old man for getting them out of bed at 4:30 for a "guaranteed Koke harvest". Nope, we got our butts kicked. We were the 2nd boat on the water right at daylight and trolled the productive spots from last week. Took us a little while to get the first one in the box and a quick second hookup was lost at the net. That was it! We trolled for miles and only got one bite in the next 3 hours. Called it a day before 10. There were about 10 other boats trolling but I didn't see a lot of action but I assume some of you were there? Let me know if I'm really that bad or if the fish just weren't cooperating today. Cost me a breakfast in Heber to make up for my "guarantee". I reminded them that at least we didn't get skunked but not by much. Beautiful morning with no wind and still way better than quarantine!!
