Took the wife and kids to Mackay today. Got there about 2:30 and tried for some trout for a while, getting a few hits and boating 2 nice rainbows. Decided to try some trolling and the action really picked up, got into a bunch a kokanee, getting hits every 3-5 mins. They had some decent size to them smallest one 13", biggest was close to 15". We caught 5 and lost about 13 or so. My wife and kids were getting a little too excited for the soft mouths of the kokanee. We all had fun and everyone got to reel in a few fish.

A dodger with a Hoochie, or Spinner trailing it. I use shoe peg corn on the hooks.

Ron, I was using a Beer Can lake troll and a wedding ring. The Beer Can is a small cable with several large flashers attached to it. They swivel around the cable to attract fish. The Wedding ring is a leader with a spinner blade, some orange beads and a hook. You should be able to find them at most sporting goods stores. Hope this helps.
