It was interesting to see 4 boats out there today with people cagey enough to know they didn't have to wait until March 1 this year. Maybe Rodney will give an early season report

As I said many times, always read the regulations carefully.

We had a pretty good day today, didn't land as many fish as we had hoped but the ones landed were very nice.

That's a nice size for this time of year there.

Year round growth nowadays.

[Noahs Arc]

Yeah true. Looking tasty.

Do they stock kokanees there? If not, they should look into viability of stocking triploid kokanees there and in more lakes.

An interesting thought.  The Kokanee in Kawkawa are indigenous; I'm not sure how introducing a non reproducing stock from elsewhere would be beneficial, or were you suggesting Kawkawa stock should be collected and used for hatchery augmentation?
If so, good luck on that

I was just curious if it would be worth looking into weather the lake or fish population in the lake could sustain an added population of triploid fish as well.  Triploids imo enhance the fishing experience but I agree it shouldn't come at the expense of the already existing populations, but if deemed the lake could sustain some triploids it could be worth considering. 
It is just a thought. I'm not saying they SHOULD do this or SHOULD do that, am just curious...triploids do have their benefits as well.

Pretty amusing how you can watch your lure bouncing up and down on the sonar. I'm wondering if you were also able to mark fish moving into the area prior to getting bites?

I could actually. There were several times that a fish popped up on the sounder between the lure signals and right away I had a bite. Mine is not that sensitive so with a higher end sounder you'll be able to see a lot more details on there.

[Tenz85]

I use a humminbird 153 and can see when the schools swimby just off the bottom which coincidentally is the same time the bite turns on too. The lure being read on my sounder is more ocassional though however it can pick up the anchor dropping.

Sometimes the electronics take away from an experience, but still it can be a real thrill to see a blip on the sounder, adjust your depth, say to yourself, "Here we go...", and then *whap*, the rod snaps down.
