I’m fishing Ririe in the morning but will be back fishing Palies tomorrow evening and Saturday and hope to find some more. We got both on a watermelon squid and dodger down 50’ going 1.7.That's awesome! So you caught them on the West side? South of Big Elk Creek? How did you find them? Were you seeing them on your electronics? I've always thought I was fishing too deep but 50' is deeper than I normally go. Did you learn anything else about Kokanee on Palies from the Facebook guy?
