We took advantage of the awesome weather yesterday to get in some fishing. Low wind and mid-eighties at Strawberry made for a really nice day, weather-wise.
Unfortunately, the Kokanee fishing was pretty slow for us. We caught several slot cutts, but few salmon.
I'm really struggling to figure out what I'm missing. There are plenty of fish on the finder, and my WaterWolf camera confirms the fish are there. They just give our rigs a glance and move on (see my previously posted videos).
We're using scent (garlic on some, Pro-cure Kokanee on some), we're using pink Gulp maggots, sometimes "natural" Gulp Alive maggots, squids, and a variety of colors and sizes of dodgers (see some samples attached).
As a side note, the Kokanee are definitely at the beginning phases of the color change. And they are fattening up, if the one I cleaned is any indication.
The fish cleaning station was pretty quiet when we loaded up, so maybe it wasn't just us [
