[/quote]Yeah... the smallie and the perch were caught trolling for kokanee. First decent smallmouth we have caught doing that, although we have picked up a few tiny ones on the same gear this year. For perch, we usually get 3 or 4 every time out while targeting kokes. Never knew perch would suspend over deep water like that until I fished at Ririe!
Saw some pics of nice catches as far back as January of this year with the biggest koke right at 20 inches in April. Like MMDon said though, not much catching going on this summer![/quote]
That's pretty amazing that a perch and SM would be up that high in the water column. I've caught a few perch up high like that too but it's pretty rare to see a SM caught like that, at least for me, must not be finding enough food on the bottom.
