Jordanelle today

[Jig-fisher]

We decided to change it up and hit Jordanelle today to chase kokes. We arrived early and were fishing by 630. 1st spot got a koke, a rainbow and lost a big koke at the boat within the 1st 15 min. We thought, oh boy, it's going to be hot fishing today. Not so much. It went cold fast and we did a lot of searching. We did end up catching a dozen or so rainbows, 8 kokes, (4 small ones that we released), and a splake. We lost a couple of really nice kokes, they just wouldn't stay hooked with some pretty amazing acrobatics thrown in to flip us the middle fin. Green, orange and pink all caught fish with really no clear preference. We finished at just before noon keeping 4 trout and the 4 kokes. My daughter-in-law loves trout so she took those home.

Power squadron wasn't too bad, but it was still bumpy later in the morning.

How big were the ones you kept?  I couldn't find anything worth keeping yesterday.

They were right around 15".

Thanks. They sure are smaller than in previous years.

Did you keep the splake?  Splake and tiger trout are as good as kokanee when it comes to eating due to the char half (Brook Trout).  IMHO!  ?

Yes we did. I told my daughter-in-law that they are great eating so she kept it and took it home.

Nice job Paul, we farmed a few this am that threw the hooks and had 1 break off an apex but I think the dodger hit the line when it went airborne

Way to get after them Paul, those kokes will be some great eats.

I Fished it this morning as well, we got our 8 kokes, lost 3 and got 3 bows done by 9:30. Started at about 7am
Kokes were healthy 15- 17 inchers!
Fun morning!
These were my 4.
