I took my father in law and nephew to chase Kokanee today. We where the first people in the gate at Black Tail at 6:00 am, after launching we ran to my favorite spot where the lake turns north past the power lines going towards Juniper. We caught 6 there in the first hour, the largest of the day 18” and the smallest 5” then the bite died and we went searching, we ran back to the power lines and didn’t mark any fish so on a hunch I ran towards the Juniper boat ramp where we came across a giant school of fish, where we started hammering the kokes at 70’ going 1.1 mph on pink RMT sling blades and pink hoochies with and without blades tipped with corn soaked in garlic and anise. Final count for the day, 44 Kokanee, we could have caught more but we had to go to a family reunion and we where nearly limited out.
