I like to chase all manners of swim my critters so of course I’m going to keep reading.How do you know I didn't "TRY"? Set my downriggers right in the thermocline (2'), plenty of dropback, scent on the flashers, pink maggots on the hoochies, varying speed and S turns and all that. All I accomplished was conking some carp on the head with the rigger balls. Not a high percentage kokanee venue.
You know the kokes could make there way down the river and you could be the first to get on em, if you would try!! Lol
Good report good fun!
Took my little sis and niece out to chase the aforementioned kokes , niece got a dandy 20.5 incher!
Mildog out!

I stopped at AF today to check on the water level, was pleasantly surprised that it is still adequate to launch the big red SKEETER !! Will be hitting it in the am, the boss has things for me to do today. Amazing how she can find all sorts of things to take up my day and keep me off the water !! Will hit the pipeline tomorrow to get a few WB for a dinner, then look for some walleye in the main lake. Will report tomorrow !!!If you hit the pipeline, concentrate on the last two buoys...and fish across the pipeline between them too. As the morning wore on, the fish almost seemed to be schooling up right beside the buoys...in their shade.
PS, the guy at AF reports that they have removed the big rocks at the entrance of the harbor, so those things are not a hazzard any more !! YEA!!
When I first got to the pipeline there were some little current "boils" on the surface...indicating some water coming in from the settling ponds. But that didn't last long.
Also, there are some reed beds appearing between the harbor and the bubbleup. I saw a couple of interesting splashes at their edges today that could have been something besides carp. Got plastic? Got topwater?
