Hit the pig Saturday morning. Made it to the turn off in Avon before I realized I left my paddle at home. Made it back to the lake by around 830 or so. First boat launch was packed but managed to find a spot by the camp ground creek to launch. Trolled for some kokes for a while and managed six bites and boated two. Lost a couple when my line wouldn't leave my clip and a couple threw the hook on the way up. By about eleven ish the wind started blowing and I worked my way over to the cliff to drag a rapala near the bottom. Got snagged up and managed to free it so I could reset my rigs when this guy slammed it in about 70 foot. All in all not a bad day water was warm and the weather was nice.

Nice brown. The Koke fishing up there this season has been lack luster for sure.

Ya with out a fish finder on the kayak it was a lot of just cruising around. my homemade downrigger seemed to work pretty well and the kokes I caught were down at about 40'-45'. I had the most bites when I paddled up against the dam and had the wind just blow me back towards the inlet.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Your cheapest option to zero in on
kokanee would be a temp sensor like the[/#800000][/font] [url "http://www.fishhawkelectronics.com/marine-electronics/fish-hawk-td"]Fish Hawk TD[/url]. [font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Target the depth and 5 to 10 feet above where you find the 51/52 degree water temp. You can buy the FHTD for around $150 or less. Almost as good as a sonar.
