We went up for our Annual Labor day Gorge trip with a bunch of friends and family. Yes, it get's crazy up there with 100's of others camping along the shore at Swim beach ( some party all night err) . [unsure]
It's a family tradition to watch the night time boat parade. It always amazes me the creativeness some boaters have! Every year some one comes up with new and creative light designs. This year the ship in the bottle was our favorite. . Fireworks were as good as they've ever been and overall Saturday had great weather. Sunday was horrible and so was the fishing. We could not located any large concentrations of Kokanee for jigging? Usually this time of year the Koke start to stage, but this year they were all over the water column? I HATE trolling, but it was the only way to catch Koke over the holiday weekend. We did land a few pup Mack jigging, but nothing over 9lbs. Overall it is always nice to go to the gorge even if the weather and fishing could have been better.
