It was a beautiful day on the water today - probably the nicest day of 2012 so far. We arrived a little late, got the boat in shorly after noon and fished till about 3:30pm. Trolled the whole time, using wedding rings with maggots and worms (and other things). It was our first time on the lake - absolutely gorgeous lake! Managed to hook and land my first ever land locked Coho - I couldn't believe it, as we were targetting Kokanee. But the spots all over its back made it easy to identify. It was proabably between 1lb-2lb, and was released unharmed. I caught it trolling a chartreuse dodger with some reflective tape, and a chartreuse wedding ring spinner (with a secret bait). That was it for the day; the wife had a good take on her wedding ring with a worm, but it quickly popped off. Quite a few boats out on the water - I'd say we counted at least 20 throughout the day, but what else would you expect on a long weekend? I will be making another trip, but probably not till the fall, as its only going to get busier on that lake between now and then.
Good fishing to all!!
