A work buddy and I took another trip to Jordy this weekend to enjoy the nice weather. Started trolling about 8am at 48 degrees and water temp around 65. The trout weren't very hungry, but the pesky miniature smallies were out in force again today. We managed to pick up a few nice cookie cutter bows between 15-16" but my buddy wanted to try to throw spinners for smallies. So we casted hoping to find a fish that could give a decent fight but only managed to catch a metric shload of 6-8" juniors. Where are the bigger guys? There has to be some in there somewhere....
As we were working around the lake we came up on a very large, very dead kokanee. Not sure if it would already be spawned out or dead from other causes but Im guessing it would have come in about 4 pounds. The dump chickens hadnt found it yet, but Im sure it will be eaten soon.
Some of the colors in the deeper canyons have started to show up, in a week or two it will be gorgeous up there.
