Well, so much for targeting a species. We decided to go after kokanee in Cascade this AM, since we had done well for very large kokes several years ago. Got to our favorite area, decided to put out two koke rigs, both with Shasta dodgers, hoochies, and soaked corn. Also, as an afterthought, put out one trout rig. Well, we had our first trout on the Shasta while it was still dragging on the surface. We caught everything on the kokanee gear except kokanee. Lots of trout of all sizes, and coho, but no kokes. Meanwhile, the trout rig did nothing. Very steady action until 11:30, when the door slammed shut. Got to see Untangler on the way out and in, and he had one nice looking string of perch. Talked to several perch fishermen at the dock, and they had all struck out. Eric obviously has 'em dialed in!! Next stop might have to be my favorite fishing lake since my childhood....Payette Lake....for kokanee and macs. If you want depths and locations, PM me. Mike
